Wow that was a lot of blood, death and incest fortunately there were also dragons. I enjoyed the history of the Targaryens even though they were extremely frustrating at the best of times. I loved Mushroom's commentary 🐉

The Winds of Winter | George R. R. Martin

I wish this wasn‘t a real quote. He finishes by saying I‘m alive, I‘m vital. Come on George, and Patrick for that matter. #readingwesteros

5feet.of.fury He‘s had it with fans 😂 just give us the book you infuriating man 3w

RamsFan1963 This is why I quit reading the series after the 4th book. I'm 61 and I get the feeling one of us isn't going to live to see the end of the series. 3w

BethM @5feet.of.fury amen sister! @RamsFan1963 😂honestly I thought book 5 was not good in comparison. 3w

DogMomIrene Ugh. I stopped after book 3 and just enjoyed the HBO series. I really do wish Patrick would publish his book 3 though. So many questions! 3w

Fire and Blood: A History of House Targaryen of Westeros | George R. R. Martin

so-so

3✨ A lot happened in this book. It was very detailed, and goes through several generations and families. It runs more as a history book than a story. I kept trying to connect to this world as I know it in Game of Thrones, but it got me more lost. #ReadingWesteros @5feet.of.fury

5feet.of.fury Relatable. I was so excited for the places & legends I knew from GoT, but it was harder to connect with the characters the way it‘s told. Congrats on finishing that beast of a book! 1mo

#ReadingWesteros will return in January with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

Figured we could use the time to focus on Holiday reads or, you know, the Holidays themselves. 🎄❄️🕎

BethM Love it! 1mo

Sargar114 Woo hoo! Now to finish fire and blood before then!!! 1mo

Ok, I know people are working on their December TBRs, & I think we have a couple people still making their way through Fire & Blood.. do we want to break until January? Plan for December? I heard this one is more light hearted & fun. Probably just do a weekly check in for each of the 3 novellas. Last official Westeros book! Lemme know what you think!

majkia I'm good however most folks decide. 1mo

Sargar114 I‘m still working my way through fire and blood, but I‘ll try and catch up and join whenever y‘all decide to start. 1mo

BookwormAHN Also still working through Fire and Blood. I'd prefer January but whenever is fine with me. 1mo

Roary47 I have two chapters I think left of Fire and Blood. So I can do December or January. 1mo

BethM I can do either. 1mo

🤣🤣🥲 F it, I‘d read it.

BarkingMadRead Seems legit 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo

5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead I remember the GoT references in FairyTale & I was like “I wonder if they are friends” and I found an interview together where GRRM asked King how he can write so fast. …And I think about it a lot haha. 1mo

Lord Rowan asks that Johanna Lannister withdraw forces from Iron Islands and ship food to the North. Arryn claimants are to present their case in Kings Landing. 2mo

5feet.of.fury The Court & City dote on Viserys, but not his Lysene wife. Mainly because she worships the gods of Lys. Rumors abound that she has cat spies or can turn into a cat.

The Rogares accumulate power in Westeros between the bank and the brothel. 2mo

2mo

5feet.of.fury For the 1st time since The Dance a dragon flies over Kings Landing. Lady Rhaena takes to the skies on Morning. Shortly after, Lady Lara has a son. The child is named Aegon (ffs)

On Driftmark a dragon egg presented to Laena upon her birth hatches. The dragon is wingless & blind & bites Laena in her cradle. 2mo

5feet.of.fury This is troubling to Aegon III who declares no dragon eggs in the castle. Viserys who kept his egg throughly captivity is wroth. The egg sent to Dragonstone.

Gaemon Palehair & Daenaera are poisoned. Gaemon dies. Aegon III descends into gloom.
2mo

5feet.of.fury Corwyn Corbray is killed while enforcing Jeyne‘s Will for the Vale to fall to Joffrey Arryn. Alyn Oakenfist is dispatched by sea with an army to be lead by Moredo Rogare. But assaults upon the Vale are unsuccessful.

At the other end of the Vale. Rowan‘s host rouses a dragon (Sheepstealer & Nettles in a cave), they also face cold & hunger and a wildling attack. 2mo

5feet.of.fury Faceless men of Braavos seem responsible for death of Lysandro & Drazenko Rogare - but at whose bidding?

Lysaro aspires to rule Lys. But in his scheming rumors abound that the Bank is unsound. Everyone starts withdrawing funds. lysaro flees. The bank is seized. The coin Westeros entrusted to Bank Rogare is lost. Rogares are arrested. Viserys defends his wife (with an axe). 2mo

5feet.of.fury A new Hand has been appointed without Aegon III‘s input, Ser Marston. Complicating matters.

Sandoq the Shadow of Lys comes to defense of Aegon, Viserys & Larra. Secure in Maegor‘s Holdfast.

Lord Rowan confesses to commiting the poisoning at knifepoint & after torture. He also implicated Lady Larra & Viserys (which was not part off Marstons plan). Aegon has enough of this BS. 2mo

5feet.of.fury
Marston is killed shortly after.

6 days after the false confession Aegon III leaves the holdfast. Rowan is alive but unable to continue as Hand. Grand Maester Munkun acts as regent & Hand.

Lords arrive in KingsLanding to select new regents. Positions are filled, Aegon III puts his seal. 2mo

5feet.of.fury Ok cat spies are cool because it reminded me of Arya, but I can‘t remember if there was any lore about the idea to enter the cat that ties back to this or if Larra could be a warg. 2mo

5feet.of.fury Or if people are just jerks 2mo

5feet.of.fury I was really glad Aegon made a big decision ..but George… what a parting note to leave us with… (edited) 2mo

BethM Right?! I felt like well… we‘re just ending it like that?! 1mo

5feet.of.fury @BethM it was such a good set up… for another book we don‘t know if we are getting 😭 1mo

Parts of this were excellent, parts very very slow. Copious death and I think GRRM might actually hate pregnant women. Freud would have a field day with that. Overall I liked it. The style was different but not bad. #readingwesteros
