It is also 700 pages long, making the experience of reading it similar to that of slogging through a college history textbook, except none of it is real. The book is written as an in-universe historical tome, allegedly written by Archmaester Gyldayn, and itвЂ™s styled after Edward GibbonвЂ™s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, which is a wonderful historical set (or so IвЂ™m told) but not exactly entertaining reading. The real issue is that вЂ Fire and BloodвЂ™ is boringД«ut the bigger issue is that Fire and Blood is so boring.

(The rule of Aegon III, the last Targaryen ruler to have living dragons until Daenerys, would come along another 150 or so years later.) And as anyone who watched the end of Game of Thrones now knows, adapting an unfinished Martin series is a difficult prospect. The first is that itвЂ™s unfinished Martin has only written the first of two planned volumes in the series, which covers from Aegon I though the next 157 years of the dynasty. There are a few issues with Fire and Blood, the book, however.

It starts with Aegon the Conqueror, the first Targaryen king of Westeros who conquered Westeros with his siblings, and it goes all the way through Aerys II, the Mad King, who GOT fans will recognize as DaenerysвЂ™ father and the last of the Targaryen kings. Unlike the Goldman series (tentatively referred to by Martin as The Long Night), Fire and Blood chronicles the 300 years directly preceding the events of Game of Thrones. Back in May (just before the original show ended), Martin noted on his blog that two more of the ideas were still in play and вЂњedging closerвЂќ to something more concrete, suggesting that вЂњmaybe some of you should pick up a copy of Fire & Blood.вЂќ Graphics by Michele Doying / The VergeДeadline says that the new Fire and Blood series is a second attempt at adapting the novel from Martin and Colony co-creator Ryan Condal, following an initial attempt by former Game of Thrones writer Bryan Cogman to adapt that novel that HBO passed on.ДЇire and Blood is certainly. Martin, which shot a pilot episode earlier this summer. We already know what one of those proposals is: a prequel set thousands of years before the original show and books in the вЂњGolden Age of Heroes,вЂќ created by Jane Goldman and series author George R.R. Game of Thrones finally ended earlier this year, but HBO was already hard at work on proposals for no fewer than five prequel and spinoff ideas before the hot takes from the final season had even finished cooling. A new report from Deadline claims that a second prequel series - this time based on Fire and Blood, MartinвЂ™s fictional history book detailing the Targaryen dynasty - is nearing a pilot order. WeвЂ™re still waiting on news from the first Game of Thrones prequel that HBO is developing, but the premium cable network doesnвЂ™t seem content to stop there.
