Fire & Blood: 300 Years Before A Game of Thrones (A Targaryen History) (A Song of Ice and Fire)

Good packaging and book qualitu

As already a GOT fan I am Absolutely in love with this book! The hardback feels premium, the font size is just right, and the black-and-white illustrations are gorgeous. For ₹560, it’s honestly a steal deal. Can’t wait to get started!

Quality is good and illustrations are very good also good; yes there are multiple pictures and artworks in this which makes it very engaging And interesting, but one thing, You will get the edition in which the cover photo is of rhaenrya and alicent not this one if you are in India as I also got that one only. Also, the plastic sheet on the cover was coming out a little that's why I gave this item 4 star

As a GOT fan, I purchased this book and it has a lot of details, Tbh english is a little bit hard but can manageable who watch hollywood shows in english

Great packing,i buyed the hardcover and the quality is awesome, Real page turner...

A must for fans of George R. R. Martin.

Absolutely gorgeous 🥰

Couldn't get a better deal.

Ciltli versiyonunu aldım ve bir günde gayet iyi durumda geldi. Kitap bir tarih kitabı gibi yazılmış. Osmanlı padişahlarının dönemlerini kısaca anlatan bir kitap gibi düşünün. Game of Thrones'tan yaklaşık birkaç yüzyıl önce, Targaryen hanedanının Valyria'dan kaçıp, sonrasında Aegon önderliğinde Westeros'u ejderhalar ile nasıl fethettiğini ve sonrasında nasıl hüküm sürdüklerini anlatıyor. Şu an yaklaşık sayfa 200 civarlarındayım, HotD dizisindeki olaylara daha gelemedim ama meraklısına okuması zevkli ve sürükleyici gelecektir diye düşünüyorum. Tabi böyle bir kitabı almadan önce Game of thrones evrenine ne kadar meraklısınız veya House of the dragon dizisi sizi ne kadar meraklandırdı bunu bence bir sorgulamanız gerekiyor. Öyle diğer kitaplar gibi hikaye kitabı değil çünkü. Bir yazarın kendi kafasında kurguladığı evrenin tarihini okumuş olacaksınız sonuçta. Her ne kadar kitapları ve dizileri sevsem de böyle bir düşününce garip geldi :D Eğer genel anlamda Game of thrones evrenine meraklıysanız (kitapları, dizileri vs. okuyup izlediyseniz) bence alınacak bir kitap ama ben sadece dizi izliyorum casual takılıyorum detaylara takılmıyorum diyorsanız da çok bir şey kaçıracağınızı düşünmüyorum.

The book is great but the handling of the book could have been better. Arrived with a few bumps and bruises.

I am only part way through, but I am thoroughly enjoying the book. It is written in the style of a historian--narrating not from the perspective of the characters, but from what has been said over the years by various authors. I am enjoying getting to know characters spoken about but who were not an integral part of the Song of Ice and Fire series (particularly given they had passed away a long time ago by that point).

The design is perfect and looks amazing. As for the book itself, it reads like a historical chronicle, tracing the Targaryen lineage from Aegon’s Conquest to the early stages of the Dance of the Dragons. It's written from a maester’s viewpoint to tell the story. It’s less a novel and more a richly detailed history, so expect more lore than character-driven plot. Definitely worth checking out.

W kwestii estetyki mogę powiedzieć że okładka współgra z pozostałymi książkami z serii wydawnictwa Harper/Voyager. Herb Targaryenów na okładce jest "wybity" ponad poziom okładki oraz wraz z tytułem książki pięknie odbijają światło. W środku, poza właściwym tekstem, znajdują się ilustracje obrazujące opisywane wydarzenia. Co do treści, to należy pamiętać że narracyjnie różni się od książek głównej serii - w "Fire & Blood" mamy do czynienia z kroniką historyczną. Nie zmienia to faktu, że polecam ją każdemu fanowi twórczości Martina, czy też jego serialowych adaptacji - szczególnie tym którzy czekają na kolejny sezon "House of the Dragon". Książka dostarczona w doskonałym stanie, w ciągu 5 dni roboczych (zamówiona we wtorkowy wieczór - dostarczona w poniedziałek). Wysyłka z magazynu w Wielkiej Brytanii. Jeżeli dobrze posługujecie się językiem angielskim, to nie widzę powodu żeby przepłacać za dwu-częściową polską edycje, podczas gdy oryginał robi to taniej i w jednej książce.
