Lord Varys Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 That is good to hear. I know of a couple of illustrations that didn't make it into the previous edition. It would be nice to see them in finished form if they are those we are getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Varys Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 @Ran Can you tell us anything new about the Sunspear situation? Or any other corrections that made it into FaB? This errata list is pretty thorough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 No idea what has been updated, but did raise that and some other errata on a couple of occasions with Anne and her editorial assistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Varys Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 6 minutes ago, Ran said: No idea what has been updated, but did raise that and some other errata on a couple of occasions with Anne and her editorial assistant. I think I made that suggestion already back when the Sunspear thing came up, but so what: There is a chance to add a paragraph or two about the curious case that Sunspear was never destroyed at the very end of the 'The Wars of King Aegon I' chapter. If I'm not mistaken there is half a page or more empty at the end of the chapter, meaning pagebreak and other such things wouldn't really be affected. Starting along the lines of 'One of the most curious developments in the First Dornish War was the fact that all of the Dornish castles were consumed by dragonfire more than once but for Sunspear itself. Dozens of maesters and acolytes in the Citadel have discussed this over the years...' and then give all the reasons you and George came up with why Sunspear was never targeted.

The Dragon Demands Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I wonder if the news that the next tv show is based on it means that more critics won’t dismiss it out of hand. the attitude in November 2018 seemed to be “screw a new lore book, what’s the Night King going to do in Season 8?!” What have they to say now?

The Bard of Banefort Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I already own the hardcover and the ebook, so I probably won't buy this version, but I will definitely stop by Barnes & Noble to look at all the new pictures I was really disappointed when I got my copy of the illustrated ACOK and saw that it was only one illustrator. AGOT had such an incredible collection of illustrators featured, and I was hoping that they were going to do the same with ACOK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baneling Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Hi all, I haven't read Fire and Blood and trying to figure out if I should. Is this a novel like the other ASOIAF books? or is it more of an information source or essay? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a history book covering the Conquest and reign of all the Targaryen kings from Aegon I to the end of the regency of Aegon III. It also covers the conflicts that arose in between and during their reigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
