Description

Three centuries before the events that take place in Game of Thrones, the Targaryens - the only dragonlord family to survive the Doom of Valyria - settled on Dragonstone. The narrative of the chronicle Fire & Blood begins with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and continues with the generations of Targaryens who competed for the possession of this iconic seat of power until the civil war that nearly destroyed their dynasty.

What was Westeros like when dragons ruled the skies? What were the worst crimes of Maegor the Cruel? What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? These are just some of the questions answered in this edition, as presented by a learned maester of the Citadel. This book is the first of two volumes of the definitive history of the House of Targaryen, embellished with over eighty black-and-white illustrations by the renowned illustrator Doug Wheatley.

    This review is about the publication date: 2022

    First of all, regarding the book as a book: it is on the familiar -newspaper- paper like all the books in the series from the publisher, which the positive thing is that it makes it light despite its volume, but the negative thing is that it wears out easily.
    As for Martin's story: we follow the chronicle of the Targaryen family from its first dynasty to a specific period. For those who have seen the first season of the series, the continuation of the story starts from around page 400 of the book.
    Personally, I missed a bit of action, because it's like reading the story through a historical book written by a master about the Targaryens. But still, it is easily readable and keeps your interest in general.

    This review is about the publication date: 2022

    I bought the book after the end of the first season of House of Dragon to read the continuation, the truth is that I expected it to be much better.
    The story in the book is in the form of narration, like a historian narrating some historical events.
    Many times new names/locations appear without much analysis out of nowhere and you just get lost as you read, while other times there is an analysis of trivial events.
    As a book, the paper quality is average, some pages had small creases and the cover was lifting from the first day, overall I consider it to have borderline mediocre quality.
    If we also consider the price, which is 30 euros, you are simply paying a lot of money for a mediocre book because the series did well and all this hype has been created

Το βιβλίο έχει κανονικά, πλήρες κείμενο, το οποίο απλώς διανθίζεται με εικόνες -ανά κάποιες σελίδες. Μυθιστόρημα είναι και όχι κόμικ. Εδώ, στον εκδότη, μπορείς να ξεφυλλίσεις τις πρώτες σελίδες: https://anubis.gr/product/fotia-amp-amp-aima/
