I like Martin's books, so I just had to translate your review. Hope you don't mind. I haven't read this one, and I'm starting to find his plots predictable. I might have to drop him for a while and certainly shan't pick this book up. Thanks for the review.
Fire and Blood isn't exactly a narratively revolutionary book, and it mostly just expands on The World of Ice and Fire. Martin did a bit of role-play and gave us the first volume of Archmaester Gyldayn's chronicle, but the polite and formal style (Ser X, Lady Y) makes it quite hard to digest at first.
Pros:
Detailed accounts of battles between dragons.
The Dance of the Dragons as another echo of the Wars of the Roses.
The adoption of a clearer structural method than the one used in the main series.
It’s okay, but it doesn't blow you away. Maybe he'll actually finish the series someday :D
