Whether one reads the original novels, watches the television series, or indeed indulges both, this volume of house histories, along with the others, are great additions to a Game of Thrones junky’s library.

Good information, typos are a bit irritating.
This short book contains quite a bit good information about some of the most important families and their background but as with the previous book, has a large number of typos.

Good read
Good read for those new to Game of Thrones. Equally interesting and informative for those more familiar with the series.
