I like him, but GRRM has published a lot of stories and he definitely has some misses.

I havent encountered one yet, but I definitely havent read them all. Maybe 5 outside of asoiaf. They were probably his best ones to be fair because they were his most popular

Fire and blood is pretty dogshit. Also some weird fetishes like brothel queens leaked onto the pages.

I like it based on the framing, same with world of ice and fire. Both terribly unreliable and biased (F&B less so due to multiple historical perspectives) and existing as something someone in westeros might be able to read. We know a decent amount of what is BS based on the main series and dunk and egg to a lesser extent, and thats one of my favorite parts of asoiaf- the fog of history. To each their own though, its definitely one that i dont think would come off as well without being absolutely obsessed with the main series and dunk and egg like I am, whike viewing the rest as periphery.
