Amazing illustrations
The book itself is amazing, the illustrations even more so and help the reader grasp the story. It covers a lot of history throughout Westros and the Free Cities; The slave Cities, etc. If you are a hard core GOT nerd, this is a must have. Only downside is it is written by a maester; which is kinda cool but also very one sided in some aspects. If you are a fan you know that the citadel don't condone magic, so some of the legends I think are closed over due to it being from a maesters view point. The start is a little slow, only because it covers new info that the show and books have only touched on so it is a lot of new info, but once you get to the mad king and that era you can relate better because you have heard the subject thru the show or books so it is AMAZING to get some history with what is happening in the timeline now, The biggest plus to this book is the small things; the awesome maps that are very detailed; the inside cover page has all the sigils; it is wrote by a maester in the time period we are seeing for the king of the 7 kingdoms and a small thing I found was he dedicated it to Robert then you could see where it had been erased and Joffery entered then erased and Tommen put in, which brings us to the end of season six. Amazing lineage of most of the major houses and so much more. If you love Westros and want to know all about Martin's amazing world it is a must have!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Fire & Ice Fandom, REJOICE!!
This is a BEAUTIFUL book!! Full of wonderful illustrations and fascinating details about the world created by George R. R. Martin in the Song of Ice and Fire series. I highly recommend this for any true fan or collector. The over-sized pages are crisp and beautiful, it's bound well and the front cover is beautifully embossed with the 3-headed dragon emblem. The art in the book is highly detailed. A LOT of it is in full color, and it has so much fascinating content, that my friend, who had never even watched the Game of Thrones series, or read any of the books from the series, now wants to devour it ALL after thumbing through this book. A WONDERFUL addition to my library!

Amazing absolute must have!
This is a must have for any game of thrones fan, asoiaf book fan, house of the dragon fan, or just a fan of westeros and all the lands in that world. It tells more stories and lore of the world, old history of house. Contains nice artwork. Even has a few family trees. An absolute must have for fans. The book itself is amazing quality. Its huge and of great quality. Its biggest than a phone book. The cover looks like an old journal from olden times like an old leathery worn down look. To pair with it I recommend the "lands of ice and fire". That one is a book sleeve that opens up to contain 12 maps of the asoiaf world. Map of KL and bravos. Westeros, essos, the whole known world. Essos broken into chunks. Just another must have for the fan collection. Just get them all lol WINTER IS COMING!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

This is such a beautiful and we'll crafted companion book for any fan of the boys or TV series. And the information is amazing ! Great gift idea
Buy it for yourself or the Game of Thrones addict in your life. You won't be sorry. It's a wonderful way to go deeper into the history and lore. And it can spur many a debate among the theorists dying for THE WINDS OF WINTER.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Very interesting if you're a GOT fan.
I was really surprised at how big the book actually was. Being a big Game Of Thrones fan, I found this book with color illustrations very intriguing as it somewhat answered my questions as to how Game Of Thrones came about and gave me an idea on what the cities and people might have looked like.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

ASoIaF
By far the best book in the series. Reads like The Silmarillion, but with more details, better pictures, easier to read and much, much better organization. This is what the Guide to the Forgotten Realms or the Dragonlance sourcebooks should have been.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Awesome!
I bought this for a gift to my husband for his birthday, and I got a whole lot more reaction from him than I thought. He loved it! The same feeling I had when I saw the book, it is more than I thought. Great! is another word for it ...Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Wonderful!
Great companion book to the ASOIAF world and GoT show. It is written from the perspective of a maester writing a world history book. It gives you so much insight as well as leaves lingering questions that could be answered by further books or show spinoffs.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
