I first joined this subreddit over 10 years ago, for a read through of the main series, assuming I would eventually leave it behind, in order to finish before Winds of Winter was released...

Oops.

Anyways, we're done with our Fire & Blood reread, and despite a few spots where I flipped ahead to see how many pages left in the chapter, I did enjoy it much more than expected.

There are no current plans for another cycle, so please anyone interested in such things post your thoughts here; I've gotten a few messages privately already.

Likewise, anyone who is already doing or planning a group readthrough, let it be known, and this space can be used to facilitate the discussion, and reach others who may be interested as well.

Cycle #4.5 (F&B), Discussion #23: The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency

&#x200B;

Well, this brings us to the end.

House of the Dragon is well underway, and I'm enjoying it more than expected, actually. The reread definitely helped me know the story better, and puts the show in context. The 'dream' bit completely changes Rhaenyra's potential motivation, so really makes it a different story. But that still fits in with the historical account we get in F&B.

I read more of F&B than I expected, and I'll finish too, since I'm so close.

Please keep reading and posting!

Fire & Blood Schedule

...and with it, House of the Dragon, premiering August 21.  Let us (re-) read Fire and Blood from now until then.

Please tell your friends, your family, your co-worker's second uncle. Shout from the rooftops, cross-post to everywhere that would care. Show support with a comment below.

Within the thread here, any suggestions for how to run it? I'm imagining we'll start in a week or so, and pace it out to end by late August, giving three months.  Sounds reasonable?

I count 706 pages over 23 chapters, about 8 pages per day. For me, sounds a lot actually, given the material! Let me know what you think please.

EDIT: For all our South American, Southern African, Aussie, and Kiwi friends... I'm sorry I forgot you. You are loved and appreciated. Happy Winter!
