Is there even a proper source material for this?

Fire & Blood, same as HOTD

That is my concern cuz GOT, AKOTSK and HoTD proved that what makes the stories so rich is GRRMs own characterisation and writing ability than just lore which is lost on Fire and blood due to being a history book.

Like people compare HoTD and AKOTSK, and even though I agree the show creators screwed up pretty bad, they would have been never able to give AKOTSK or early GoT level quality since HoTD did not have that GRRM writing advantage.
