House of Fire & Blood Episode 51 “War is Bad, It is Known”

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 Caroline and Gretchen continue their analysis with The Dying of the Dragons: The Red and the Gold, Part 4. A little whoopsie-doodle in the Gullet results in Jace’s untimely but very thematically significant demise, which spurs Rhaenyra to invade Kind’s Landing. That’s definitely what happened! She has no other reason! Also we can’t escape worms.
