House of Fire & Blood – Episode 47 “Thanks George”

Share This Post

This entry is part 41 of 47 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 The Dying of the Dragons: A Son for a Son Part 2. Lord Boros’ clever daughter says “No balls!” to Almond Targaryen, so he definitely intentionally chomps Lucerys. In response, Daemon says “I read my bible!” and demands an eye for an eye, killing Prince Jaehaerys. Thanks George!
