A Certain Random Guy
As a fan of nonfiction history books just like those Martin used as inspiration, Fire and Blood perfectly matches the experience of learning more details about events whose ending you already know. The book's small failings lie mostly in the lack of characterizarion of its in-universe author and the historical figures he discusses — something that could have easily been done via more opinionated narration and more personal in-universe sources.
