It's a damn shame Linda and Elio are such terrible, problematic and hateful people. But I will always love ASOIAF.

This is of course the same content as Fire & Blood, though it's far from word-for-word. The art featured is phenomenal. I enjoyed every page. Plus, there are so many details and names to remember, this was still a great read that either reminded me of things long forgotten or shed light on others not previously embellished.

For those that say there isn't a difference, there is! This has pictures and fewer words. I read this one a lot faster but am enjoying the regular book more. I like the details in that book that this one forsakes. That being said, I really love the artwork in this book. It is perfect!

If there had been two picture books and the same amount of words, I would be my happiest self.
