I mean I don't know that he's got that whole Fire and Blood book that George RR Martin wrote that they're sort of cribbing off of which is almost written like a history it's not written like a novel it's written like a history book about the Targaryen Dynasty.

The best things said about it
And the crazy thing about this new show is it's based on one of the books he wrote like one of the spin-offs that he wrote after he was finished with the main books this is Fire and Blood the like Targaryen history of the Targaryen Dynasty spin-off that he did.
I really like the book version of this.

Why people recommend it
Fire & Blood by George R. R. Martin is a historical chronicle of the Targaryen dynasty in Westeros that serves as the literary basis for the television series House of the Dragon. On The Book Review, Laura Miller praised narrator Roy Dotrice for his work on Martin's broader series. Discussing the adaptation on This Week in Startups, Lon Harris noted that the book is written in the style of a traditional history rather than a standard novel, detailing the Targaryen dynasty spin-off. Molly Wood remarked on the same show that she preferred reading the book over watching the violent television adaptation. On the Lex Fridman Podcast, Joscha Bach cited George R. R. Martin's books as an example of constructing narratives with plausible character psychology. Finally, Tommy Vietor briefly touched on the source material during a live Q&A on Pod Save America while discussing the television adaptation's departure from the published books.
