The latter half of season 2 was exceedingly boring, and in particular the finale.
Go read the book. The entirety of seasons one and two take place in the course of about 40 pages. There's a ton of story, and it's probably more enjoyable than sitting through yet another scene of Daemon Targaryen brooding.
Hold on which book? I thought it was a new story. I read the first 4 books of ASOIAF a long time ago but never got to A Dance with Dragons, is it in there?
Fire and Blood
It's a prequel to Game of Thrones and details the rise of the Targaryen dynasty and some of the history of Westeros. Also, unlike GoT, it has a lot of fantastic illustrations too.
It's different from GoT in that it's written as a history book, parts of which told through various maesters and parts told through a fool who served the Targaryens by the name of Mushroom.
I LOVE it.
Oh I was totally not up to date lol, thank you. Love me some fantasy illustrations, I might check it out
Fire and Blood and is a separate companion piece to ASOIAF covering the history of the Targeryon family. It's a complete book so provides good closure to the series.
Rhaenyra is just a small portion of the story.
Oh interesting, thank you!
