  3. Where I discuss the Season 3 Episode 6 of House of the Dragon!

    An action packed episode, yet still somehow slow-paced. I'm very curious how they'll wrap this show up in 10 episodes.

    Last night's episode was relatively tame but I still enjoyed it! Although I'm stressed about Sheepstealer.

  9. Is it possible that the artist who did the artwork used for #FireAndBlood based his illustration for #LarysStrong on the late actor Derek Deadman? I think it’s too close for simple coincidence!

    Last night's episode was SO stressful. Ramin Djawadi did an amazing job with all the anxiety inducing music.

  17. I just finished reading the "Dance of Dragons" part of Fire and Blood (the part that's being adapted as a TV show under the name "House of the Dragon.")

    A few thoughts (with as few spoilers as possible - no plot spoiler, just structure, pace, etc)

    1. I loved it. I hate the expression "page turner" but it really was. I had trouble putting the book down more often than not.

    2. However, while interesting, the format (a "history book" not a narration in the usual acceptation of the term) makes things less developed than they could have been. Especially some characters are pretty paper thin and most are more developed and way more interesting in the show (mostly Alicent and Viserys - I was surprised how little importance they have in the book).

    3. So, I actually love how the TV show takes the time to develop many characters much more than they are in the book. And I don't mind any of the changes, they all make sense in my opinion (I'm not sure why GRR Martin was annoyed about some changes the other day.)

    4. However, now, I understand some book readers being upset that "nothing happens" in season two. I disagree with them, many things happen, and once again, I love how the show takes time to develop and show all the things it does (okay, Daemon spends many a little too much time at Harrenhall waiting.) The concern I now have is how the show will cram so many events in only two seasons, as it's supposed to be four seasons. Some major battles will have to be skipped or I can see several battles being merged into one. (which will make angry more fans who don't understand how adaptations work)

    5. I'm a bit worried about the ending of the show. I wonder how they'll manage to end the show in a way that's not anticlimactic (even in the book, the end of the civil war is a bit anticlimactic already, but it's not the end of the book, just the end of that section of the book.)

  18. So, I've been reading Fire & Blood. I really like it. But...

    Let me explain...

    I've reached the end of Viserys's reign, and I'm wondering if I should continue reading for now.

    Some context:

    I started reading it because some idiots online heavily spoiled one major plot point of House of the Dragon (I've never seen anyone freely spoil Games of Thrones, why is it that apparently House of the Dragon is fair game?) and I didn't want to be spoiled more. (It's something that hasn't happened on the show yet - apparently Joffrey already spoiled it in season one or two of Game of Thrones, but I didn't remember it, it's just a throwaway line)

    I liked the beginning of the book (Aegon the Conqueror, Maegor) and I loved the tale of Jaehaerys's reign. I really felt that the characters were as fleshed out as the format allows (not a narrative in the traditional sense of the term, but a "history book") and his story was really compelling.

    But then, I found the reign of Viserys's quite underwhelming and somewhat expedited. On the other hand, I loved the character of Viserys in House of the Dragon, he's probably one of my favorite Westerosi characters from the TV shows.

    None of the other characters (appearing on the show) are really fleshed out in the book. (except maybe Corlys and Daemon, but barely)

    I found the contrast with Jaehaerys's story quite jarring.

    So am I biased because I saw the show first and the characters are obviously more developed in the show? And in that case, maybe I should stop reading the book until the show ends and hope I don't get spoiled more in the meantime (that's four years)

    Or did you also find a real dip in quality during Viserys's reign, but it gets better after? Maybe GRR Martin was not that interested in him and rushed to get to the juicy parts, and the Dance of the Dragons is really well written and worth reading first?

    What do you think Song of Ice and Fire geeks?

  19. I started to read Fire & Blood (because of House of the Dragon) and I just arrived at the page when Daemon was born. So I imagine a very cute Baby Daemon wearing his baby crime hood with his crime diapers and running around the corridors of the Red Keep.

  21. CW: House of the Dragon Spoilers

    One of the best changes the TV show made from the books was to turn Helaena Targaryan into a dreamer.

    I love that everything she says is super-cryptic but related to important plot points.

  22. CW: House of the Dragon Spoilers

    Man, if I were Rhaenys, I'd have burned all the Greens in the Dragonpit.

    Not only do you take out Aegon, Aemond, and Criston, but you also take out all the Greens' dragons at the same time. (And one of those dragons is the largest in Westeros.)

    Rhaenys may be the dumbest character in the series.

  25. Bi girl or comphet gay girls in Fire and Blood: "Yeah her and I kissed, and yeah sometimes we kissed naked, and sure we'd take turns being the boy in bed, but it was all just practice for when we marry noble men! The boys practice with wooden swords, why not us practice kissing with each other?"

  27. CW: Artist depiction of decapitation in the attached photo.

    So I've decided to give #RiseOfTheDragon a read for the first time, rather than re-reading #FireAndBlood before #HouseOfTheDragon season two hits.

    I know the writing isn't nearly as good, but I know the story it's telling and I'm intrigued to see the sumptuous art that this book has.

    I'll re-do F&B before season three maybe.

  28. Apparently we've got a #HouseOfTheDragon trailer coming today. Nothing as of yet but ...any minute.

    I think I'm going to have to do my #FireAndBlood re-read soon then. That or I could read through the #RiseOfTheDragon instead as I've not actually done that one yet.

  29. It’s look fire 🔥 (literally). Those who’ve read the books know some real dark sh*t’s about to go down this season🩸🧀🗡️

  31. whoever thinks that the book Fire and Blood is borning, you don't know how to read reference books; actually it feels more like you're reading a transcribed ancient text, to be honest. In a way, you are...#GameOfThrones #Fantasy #FireandBlood

  32. Hi, I'm Balerion! I'm switching over from the bad site & looking for the Mastodon version of Twitteros to discuss George RR Martin's books. I'm obsessed with ASOIAF & post quotes & questions bc I love hearing & discussing people's theories.
    I look forward to meeting you 💙
    My favorite character is Arya & I love the magical elements in Planetos. I also love Tad Williams, Tolkien, Morrison, & more

  33. So here's my #YearInBooks

    I've never read more than 4-5 in one year, so this is something of a bumper year for me.

    Favourite book is either #FireAndBlood or #Impeachment

    Hardest to get through? Might actually be #TheShrinkingMan.

    What's yours?

  34. Just finished #FireAndBlood by GRR Martin. I enjoyed it and zipped through it, but at the same time it’s oddly dry and quite boring at times. And I speak as a medieval historian, so I’ve read a lot of boring manuscripts. Maybe that’s why I got on with it? It’s like he read Tolkien and wanted more of the appendices and less of the actual plot. Volume 2, if he ever writes it (doubtful) feels as though it will be inessential. #books #historian #dragons
