I have started reading this book in 2020, when the BLM movement ignited, I don’t know what happened and how I came to just suspend reading a book as amazing as this!
I picked it up again since feb is black history month

This is the kind of book you feel inside of your ribcage 💔

Reading this with Ramin's music in the background, it's a great read, although it is mainly narrated in the manner of a history book written by a high septon and not a work of fiction, so very different from a Game of Thrones, where characters' viewpoints are variously displayed.

I am learning alot about the Targaryen history and the events and characters that lead to the known GOT settings.

quite hard to suspend disbelief, the pace is slow and it's a bore so far.

if it weren't for the fact that I have to put it down so often, you know, to live my life, I would've been done reading it. An absolutely fabulous page-turner.

as soon as the author introduced handicapped children in Germany, I knew what was to be done with them. So hard to be living in a world in which fascism is not only rising, but also taking over the spirits of some influential countries #brexit a lot of parallels are in fact to be drawn between the world during the 40s and current history.

the scene where claire explains to jaime why women have to wax.. extremely hilarious

at first, I thought I'd picked the wrong book from the sequel, set in the 20th century with claire back to scotland, but yet in a time that is not her own. as things moved on on the same storyline of the seventeen hundreds, and the trip to france, it is as if I have left outlander behind, and have picked one of zola's books, describing the french society.. I can't wait for things to start moving on..
