Cut along the dashed lines and pass the cards around the table.
If you could curl up in any one place from this book for a quiet evening (a hall in the Red Keep, a chamber on Dragonstone, a room at the Citadel), where would you choose, and what would you be sipping?
The book reads like old stories told by a maester. Who in your life told you family stories growing up, and did reading this bring back any of those memories?
The Targaryens share a deep bond with their dragons. Did any rider-and-dragon pairing tug at your heart, and does it remind you of a pet or companion you've loved?
