House of Fire & Blood Episode 44 “But What About Our Queen? Said a Surprising Number of Smallfolk Actually”

Share This Post

This entry is part [part not set] 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 Gretchen and Caroline continue their analysis with a The Dying of the Dragons: The Blacks and the Greens Part 2. Rhaenyra’s dad dies and she has the AUDACITY to be upset and also curse during labor. Meanwhile the Greens execute their immaculate “plan” and Aegon has the biggest crowds, you’ve never seen such crowds! Nobody has crowds like this!
