I tried to like this book, but I just lost interest.

After reading all the Song of Ice and Fire series and the Knight of the Seven Kingdoms stories, I decided to tackle this heavy tome. This is the early history of the Targaryan family, written in the style of a history book. And that's really the problem with it, there's no real character development, it's just a chronological sequence of events. It might be of interest to die hard Westoros fans, but not a enthralling read.
