House of Fire & Blood – Episode 52 “The Real Threat is the Chair We Made Along the Way”

Share This Post

This entry is part 52 of 63 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 conclude their analysis of the chapter The Dying of the Dragons: The Red and the Gold, Part 5. Rhaenyra is EVHUL and takes King’s Landing SPOOKILY without bloodshed, because she is so scary! But don’t worry because Daemon is the real threat, and the Green’s got their eyes on him.

Also super sorry this episode was supposed to be released in November LOL but ya girl Caroline got busy 🙂 enjoy the look into the past. We’ll be back with regular episodes now!
