House of Fire & Blood – Episode 39 “Welcome to Emerald City”

Share This Post

This entry is part 39 of 43 in the series House of Fire & Blood

What if George R. R. Martin’s Fire and Blood was written more like HBO’s House of the Dragon? Caroline and Gretchen analyze Martin’s work from this perspective and search for hidden stories in the text.

This week

Caroline and Gretchen continue their analysis with a Question of Succession Part 2. Viserys names his daughter as heir and it DEFINITELY was only as a last resort AND because he was such a weak king! Also, where did Otto Hightower come from?

The Easter Egg of this episode which is ** looks at notes ** a full half an hour long, is all about Bridgerton. If you care for that sort of thing lol.
