Has anyone read Fire and Blood which the prequel House of the Dragon is to be based off of?

If so, is it a good read?

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Avalanche3319 again.

Damn, saved me from a boring buy. Thanks man.

I wondered why I had never heard of a book that was similar to the Song of ice and fire books but I guess that's why.

I mean the whole book series lost steam when the chicks became more involved, their whole story arc was just so drawn out and boring. Sanderson rescued it at the end but it had become borderline unreadable half way through.

I'm hoping the prequel will be epic. It has potential.

The SJW mob is relentless.

The sad thing is "get woke go broke" has happened over and over again especially with male dominated media like video games or sci fi movies/ tv shows. But they refuse to learn their lesson and are afraid of losing their female audience for other shows since the whole company would get boycotted if they don't bow down to the woke mob.

Women make up 80% of consumers so these companies are more than willing to sacrifice male centered franchises unfortunately.

I just went and looked at the cast. fkn lol.

There is no way the show does the books justice. SJW and forced diversity ruin everything.

Then when they got into the history of the lineage and bloodlines that could transform and so on, it kinda spoilt the mystery of Titans for me even more.

Still enjoyed the hell out of it, don't get me wrong, I just felt like I'd have been more interested if the Titans had powers but were not secretly humans. I wanted them to be their own faction and humans had to defeat them while dealing with their own conflicts and political schemes.
Not an anime guy either but I've watched several since I ran out of stuff on Netflix and Prime when the covid chit started. Attack on Titan was the first and best I've seen. Liked it so much I even read the manga and I've never read a comic book in my life. The manga just finished last month and this is the ending everyone is referring to. The show is still fine and hopefully gets a different ending. It's not GOT level bad but its not far off either.

If you saw the manga spoilers, the ending was bad.

Basically GoT 2.0 I’ll still watch the anime movie in 2022 though

Still haven't watched the final season and never will. Read some cliffs which was enough to know it's not worthwhile. Overall just a terrible story.

Read the books and watched up through season 7. What a waste of time.

Yes mad.

Supposedly they wanted to move on and do other projects. That's why they didn't want to continue, even though they could have done a couple more seasons. Don't really blame them, 8 years is a long time to spend on one TV show. Still doesn't excuse the poor writing in the end tho

Seasons 1-4 are the best television of all time

If it had ended after season 6 it would have been incredibly annoying at the time but ultimately for the best
