TyrionFan82 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I know this was probably asked a while back but is the GRRM story in the book worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wondering Wolf Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Just wait for the lately announced Fire and Blood and you will get the whole story and even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seams Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 It's not the same quality of writing as the ASOIAF novels, in my opinion, or of the Dunk & Egg stories. If I understand correctly, he had way too much material for the World book (The World of Ice & Fire). The material that had to be cut from that psuedo-history, written and paraphrased by a couple of fictional maesters, was reshaped and issued in the "Dangerous Women," "Rogues," and (soon) "Swords" anthologies. If you're a fan of Westeros history, or you're just looking for something to read before The Winds of Winter is published, then it's worth reading the Rogues story. But you might find it a bit dry, compared to his usual writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fencer Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Strangely, I just picked up my copy of Rogues a few days ago, and re-read the ASoIaF "story." It isn't much more than a detailed account of events, largely within the Targaryens, leading up to the Dance of Dragons. However it does not cover any of the events of the Dance itself. Good for a little more historical background, but that's about it. And as Seams noted, rather dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
