House of Fire & Blood – Episode 48 “The Princess Trap”

Share This Post

This entry is part [part not set] 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 Gretchen and Caroline continue their analysis with The Dying of The Dragons: The Red and the Gold Part 1. Otto Hightower loses his job as Hand of the King for doing too much diplomacy, so The Smartest King Aegon appoints Crustacean Cole as his new Hand – an “iron fist,” as the kids say 😉 Luckily George R.R. Martin watched The Parent Trap in the 90s and hilarity ensues!
