Because Kindle recommended it on the basis of the other books I had gotten.

after a couple of chapters I have noticed something.

George RR. Martin wants to do his sister.

everyone who has a sister is involved in incest in that book! (well unless they are underaged.)

I think he's just trying to get the feel of the time right.


Incest wasn't particularly rare in the middle ages, even among royalty.

The only Targaeryns you ever see alive don't do incest, it's only stated numerous times that the rulers of old always married brother to sister to keep the line pure.
