Just finished. Really good filling out the backstory of the Tagaryens or at least some of it. Very much going for Tolkien in the Silmarillion, lots of treachery and kin slaying etc.
But excellent if you want to know what these people were like when they had dragons available to them.

Martins written a lot of supplementary material right?
Lots of cool stuff in that one too. But that one, remember, is supposed to be a text that exists inside the world that Martin created. It's written by a Maester and dedicated to the reign of Robert Baratheon so it's biased. Also, a lot of stuff from the generation before Robert's Rebellion is omitted so as not to spoil stuff important to ASOIAF.

Yeah I loved that it was written from a maseters POV retelling it. I just the the opening few chapters up to the Valeryians and Tagaryens then their downfall and then the North/Stark/winterfell/wall chapeters. The rest isn't really that interesting to me.

I thought it was helpful to read up on the kings who ruled during the time of the Dunk and Egg stories.

Why do y'all think Myrcella lies about the nature of her injuries and protects the Martells at the end of ADWD? Is it just because she's BFFs with Arianne? It's something that's always stuck out to me.
