House of Fire & Blood Episode 55 – “Our Lord and Savior, Worms”

Share This Post

This entry is part 55 of 55 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 chapter The Dying of the Dragons: Rhaenyra Triumphant, Part 3. Aemond burns all the smallfolk of the Riverlands, just like the conqueror did, while Crispy Cole gets shot to death by the Winter Wolves who simply do not give AF about his main-character energy. Also, worms!

We also recorded this episode during the 12 hours that TikTok was banned xD
