House of Fire & Blood – Episode 45 “Baby’s First Patriarchy”

Share This Post

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 3. Rhaenyra’s advantages are few as she only has a max of 14 dragons at her disposal, and Aegon is definitely strong and totally not a potential kinslayer. Also, the patriarchy is bad.
