Title: Fire & Blood Pdf 300 Years Before A Game of Thrones (A Targaryen History)
The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in this masterly work by the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, the inspiration for HBO's Game of Thrones.
With all the fire and fury fans have come to expect from internationally best-selling 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 & Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart.
What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What were Maegor the Cruel's worst crimes? What was it like in Westeros when dragons ruled the skies? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel and featuring more than 80 all-new black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley. Listeners 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 & Blood is the ultimate game of thrones, giving listeners a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros.

Give it a chance if you like Targaryen history I didn’t finish the book yet but read a decent portion. First, reviews that state they’re not reading this until Winds of Winter comes out shouldn’t be allowed because they have nothing to do with this book. We’re all annoyed that GRRM has taken this long to complete the series and is continuing to write other side projects. Fire & Blood fills in a lot of blanks, but would have been more interesting if it was written like Dunk & Egg, as tales. This reads more like Westeros.org or a Wikipedia article. It’s still interesting and has good art, just don’t expect it to be page turner or a book you can’t put down.GRRM’s historical notes - not for everyone The degree to which you will enjoy this depends on two things:- Do you enjoy reading history books?- Are you a serious fan of this fictional world, and want to know the background behind everything?If you answered yes to both, you will enjoy this.Personally, I do enjoy history books, but I prefer learning about fictional worlds in a more conventional format - a character-centric story, e.g., along the lines of GRRM’s other books.For example - I just don’t care that much about the names of various nobles who’s names are only mentioned to name the leader of an army that the Targaryans flew over and burned. I’d much rather have a story from, say, Aegon’s immediate viewpoint and experiences. That is not what this book is about though.I think there will be a lot of folks who enjoy this book, but if you were looking for a book that “humanizes” the list of names that preceded the main series, this isn’t the book you are looking for.Another beautiful book in a fascinating world About 100 pages in and can’t put it down. Love Westeros and it’s history.And as the others leaving “reviews” so astutely put, this is not Winds of Winter. Get over it. You’re more than welcome to go write your own epic fantasy books at your own pace.
