For a bit of comparison, I finished reading The Crippled God (385k words) in four days and Oathbringer (450k words) in six days. This book took me almost three weeks to read that’s an extremely long time for me to spend reading on a single book.

As for enjoyment factor, I really wouldn’t call this an enjoyable read, it was more like a homework reading that I gladly imposed upon myself on my own will. I mean it, the cover art of both editions are stunning, the typography inside the book is beautiful, the font used (Centaur) was easy to read, and most of all, Doug Wheatley’s artworks were simply spectacular to look at. The aesthetic of this book is gorgeous easily one of the most beautiful books I own. A good and unnecessary comprehensive historical overview of the Targaryen Kings.
