The instigator of the House of Dragon series is criticized by Trilaw. Although he considers it a well-deserved success for the first, it is with less enthusiasm that he finishes his reading. Volume 1 – "The King's Hand Should Have a Hand. I don't want people to talk about the King's Stump" George R. A. Martin abandons the habit of author with a very refined vocabulary and elegiac style to take on that of historical chronicler… but of a fictitious history. The reign of the Targaryens from Aegon I to Jahaerys is thus deflected. Even if Fire and Blood (the motto of the house) is to be avoided for neophytes of the universe in question, it will nevertheless delight fans of the saga by bringing an unimaginable lot of information about the ruling family and those satellites. This book could displease fans of the Iron Throne because apart from the style that is more pithy, it is devoid of this kind of inner look so particular that allow the chapters in PoV but there are always plots, perjury, deception or betrayal. In addition, the anecdotes about dragons especially those about Balerion, the Black Terror are especially interesting. Volume 2 – "Then the storm broke out and the dragons began to dance" Although I was really captivated by the first half regarding the Dance of the Dragons, it was the disappointment that came to reading the second. I am not at all interested in the events related to the free cities and even less in Alyn Poingdechêne who I expected to know like the very drunk chapters of Brienne in A feast for crows a dazzling end but I was unpleasantly disappointed arrived at the end of the history lesson. Moreover, I do not know if it is due to the transience of the reign of each of the Targaryens but the surrounding lords seemed immortal to me and I have read enough of the name Aegon, no less than three kings calling themselves so on two books. Nevertheless, the comical brought by Mushroom, mad dwarf of the king delivering through his Testimony anecdotes always far-fetched, helps to ensure that this book is not a torment.
