Fire and Blood Summary î 104 With all the fire and fury fans have come to expect from internationally bestselling author George R R Martin this is the first volume of the definitive two part history of the Targaryens in Westeros Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones House Targaryen the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria took up residence on Dragonstone Fire and Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conueror creator of the Iron Throne and goes on to. I have chosen to cast aside my frustrations over the long overdue Winds of Winter and to not let it affect my rating of this book As annoyed as I am and as annoyed as many of you are I urge you to read and enjoy this for what it is That s all we can do And I surprised myself by writing these words because I honestly expected to write a review lamenting over the fact that we are still waiting for the sixth book in the series and we will probably be waiting for a few years to come But instead I was enthralled by the richness of the history and the lore associated with the Targaryen dynasty In a way it has reminded me why I love the series so much These are the histories of all the long dead and crazy Kings and ueens we ve heard our favourite characters dream about and wish they were These are heroes and tyrants these are noble lords and evil psychopaths As Ser Barristan tells Daenerys in A Dance With Dragons King Jaehaerys once told me that madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin Every time a new Targaryen is born he said the gods toss the coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will landSo there s a rather eclectic bunch of characters chronicled here And I can t fault it whatsoever For the three days I spent reading this I forgot the outside world existed as I learnt about my favourite house I loved hearing about Maegor the cruel how he got his name and how absolutely ruthless he was towards his own family Buffs of Westeros lore will know how he met his end it is referenced a few times in A Game of Thrones so I ve not bothered with a spoiler warning But as ever with Martin s world nothing is uite simple His death appears straight forward he was found with his wrists slit having died from exsanguination after cutting himself on the throne Though this seems exceedingly suspicious the man was a renowned warrior and tactician he would not have gone down so easily and stupidly Someone murdered him no doubt because of his tyrannical ways His history and that of Aegon s original conuest were the most interesting sections for meThe only other work of fantasy that is this ambitious is The Silmarillion And of course Tolkien s world is much developed and finely crafted but it s important to realise that many fantasy realms are not even big enough to have such a platform as this I can t think of another living writer of fantasy whose world is so extensive that a book like this could be written and written well And that sort of says a lot about how big this book is and how big this world is It s a fantastic addition to the A Song of Ice and Fire cannon And it s a real achievement Don t let your frustrations get in the way of you reading it You can connect with me on social media via My Linktree

Fire and Blood Summary î 104 White illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley Readers have glimpsed small parts of this narrative in such volumes as The World of Ice Fire but now for the first time the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Fire and Blood is the ultimate game of thrones giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic often bloody and always fascinating history of Wester.

I was expecting a lot from this book The book reads like a history text book This is by design I think to make the book feel authentic but this works too well as it comes across a bit dry and boring It took me a long time to get through this book simply as at time I just did not feel like reading then a few pages at a time I can actually say I know the Targaryen family history better the our actual royal family sI do have to say there were a couple is stories like Argon I and king Jaehaerys that were really good and there were hints of things that have not yet been seen in the main series as well as of the big families of the realm and free cities Lots of brutality that Game of Thrones is known forThe main thing that made this a 3 star book rather that 2 for me is the art work Doug Wheatly did an awesome job on the illustrations All in all I think only very leal of fans or historians will actually enjoy this book
