"The Rogues Are Coming..." Not A Blog. Archived from the original on March 17, 2014 . Retrieved November 17, 2021– via LiveJournal. Suffice it to say that, since their first publication in 1996, these books have sold almost 100 million copies worldwide, and have been translated into 47 languages. Among the many derived works are several prequel novels, a famous TV series – Game of Thrones– and a comic book adaptation.

This lavish visual history—featuring over 180 all-new illustrations—is a stunning introduction to House Targaryen, the iconic family at the heart of HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel series, House of the Dragon. There is a small part of me that loves A Song of Ice and Fire and is still hoping for a true book ending. That part of me dies a little bit more each time a book like The Rise of the Dragon comes out (or even worse The Wit & Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister...a complete cash grab). George R.R. Martin isn't getting any younger and it has been a long time since there was a reasonable release in the A Song of Ice and Fire universe. It has mostly been world books covering history that has been covered multiple times. I'd love a new Dunk and Egg short story at the very least. Los dragones reinaban en Poniente la historia de tan fascinante familia, empezando por Aegon I Targaryen, creador del emblemático Trono de Hierro, y seguido por el resto de las generaciones de Targaryen que lucharon por conservar el poder y el trono, hasta la llegada de la guerra civil que estuvo a punto de acabar con ellos.The book covers the history of House Targaryen from 114 BC to 136 AC, starting from the day Aenar Targaryen and his family migrated to Westeros and settled on Dragonstone.

It dawned on [Martin] that the book had become too big to publish in a single volume,” the author published in an afternote for A Feast for Crows. As such, the story was split into two books (Feast and Dance) with each book telling “all the story for half the characters, rather than half the story for all the characters.”WARNING: This book is NOT a novel. It is written like a history book with no dialogue, and everything is all tell and no show. The Targaryens are kind of a big deal. Martin fills us in on their history from when the WINTERY Aegon the Conqueror first took charge of WINDY Westeros with his two sisters. You know I have two sisters. I’m not saying we were like those WINTERY and WINDY siblings, but let’s just say my girls enjoyed the gun show every chance they got. Battle of Qohor · Old Ghis & Slaver's Bay · House Reed · House Bolton · House Frey · House Tully · Lord of Light · Wargs and the Sight · The Red Keep · Robert's Rebellion: Petyr Baelish and Varys · The North · The Reach · The Riverlands · The Stormlands · The Westerlands · The Vale Many of the heroes whose songs are sung in this book will be familiar to attentive fans of the A Song of Ice and Fire series, as they are referenced there many a times. Those are the people whom our beloved characters aspire to be, to whom they look up to, even 300 years later. 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 Queens 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:

The Seven-Pointed Star · The Faith Militant · Volantis · Braavos · The Faceless Men · Winterfell · The Lord Commanders · Robert's Rebellion: Barristan Selmy · Dorne · The Fighting Pits of Meereen · The River Rhoyne · The Many-Faced God · Greyscale and the Stone Men · The Great Masters of Meereen

Gyldayn repeatedly emphasizes that all the aforementioned sources are not entirely objective and reliable (least of all The Testimony of Mushroom), and they often contradict each other: Munkun's account is pro-Rhaenyra; Eustace's account is anti-Rhaenyra; Mushroom takes no side but his account consists of ribald tales and gossip, piling stabbings, poisonings, betrayals, seductions, and debaucheries. Gyldayn expresses his skeptical opinion about the reliability of the different sources, casting doubts especially regarding Mushroom's tales, but presents them all to the readers. La mayor parte fue un lectura muy fluida. Leí capítulos enteros estando realmente inmerso mientras leía. Básicamente, esto es lo que sería un libro de historia si un historiador resulta es un escritor soberbio. Convincente y todo muy, muy, muy Targaryen.
