5feet.of.fury Dunk finds himself in a Trial by Seven against his accusers Maekor & Aerion. He finds others to fight by his side, including the heir apparent Prince Baelor.

Dunk‘s side wins. Baelor perishes shortly after the melee, Dunk makes him a vow. Maekor & Dunk both feel the guilt. Dunk wonders how his foot can be more important than the life of the Prince. Intending to prove the realm needs his foot, he will travel with Egg as his squire. 2w

5feet.of.fury -the Ser Arlan has seen the last dragon (Laena‘s Dragon born on Driftmark under Aegon III -last chapter of Fire & Blood)

-of course his name is Aegon 😂

-“MY BROTHER AEMON NAMED ME EGG, HE‘S AT THE CITADEL” 2w

5feet.of.fury Did you enjoy it? What did you think of our new characters? - I enjoyed the 1st story, I though Egg‘s reveal for being so few pages was well done! 2w

Sargar114 I really enjoyed this story! It started out slow but agree, Egg‘s reveal was so well done and from that point on, I couldn‘t put it down. I caught that reference to Aemon. (edited) 1w

5feet.of.fury @Sargar114 I have thoughts about Aegon‘s future, but I‘m trying not to spoiler myself with the wiki before the end! But I remembered Maester Aemon‘s “Egg, I dreamed I was old” to Sam from when they were traveling from the Wall 1w

BethM Do you think it‘s connected? I think this said it was what 100 yrs before ice and fire? I agree it started slow but got better. I keep trying to figure out whose kids they are from the end of fire and blood. 1w

5feet.of.fury @BethM I think most of the Targaryen lore we‘re getting here will be F&B volume 2 (if when there‘s a volume 2) although they did mention Aegon III and the last dragon and that the old man remembered it, so it seems smack in the middle of the 2 series might get some allusions to historical events referenced in GoT. 1w

Sargar114 Aemon was 100 years old or clearly older in GOT so I‘m pretty sure he‘s the one on the wall in GOT. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. GRRM has a way of spinning a tale! 1w

Good Morning #ReadingWesteros - An Announcement before our discussion post. The Novella “The Ice Dragon” has been added to our line up following the end of these 3 stories.

Also, if any of these posts are late: I probably went into labor. I am very pregnant 😂

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

pick

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 🐉

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!!! 1mo

Roary47 Yay! 1mo

BookmarkTavern Love that! “Fortunately, there were also dragons.” Many books could be improved with the addition of dragons. 1mo

julieclair Glad you enjoyed it! 😃 1mo

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 1mo

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. 1mo

BethM @5feet.of.fury amen sister! @RamsFan1963 😂honestly I thought book 5 was not good in comparison. 1mo

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! 1mo

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! 2mo

#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! 2mo

Sargar114 Woo hoo! Now to finish fire and blood before then!!! 2mo

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. 2mo

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. 2mo

BookwormAHN Also still working through Fire and Blood. I'd prefer January but whenever is fine with me. 2mo

Roary47 I have two chapters I think left of Fire and Blood. So I can do December or January. 2mo

BethM I can do either. 2mo
