![]() So, the new HBO series took note and decided to make a significant time jump to get the story moving at a more exciting pace. ![]() In other words, Fire & Blood is not the most popular entry in the Game of Thrones series. ![]() As The Guardian put it, “To understand the disappointment with which Fire and Blood will inevitably be greeted by all but the most committed Martin aficionados, imagine Tolkien choosing to follow The Two Towers with an almost decade-long wait for a sequel, and releasing The Silmarillion in between.” Without the engaging pull of the five novels in the Song of Ice and Fire series, Fire & Blood is more like a glorified encyclopedia experience for readers who were on their way to being true students of Westeros lore. While Martin has been praised for his intricate world-building and dry humor, the reactions to Fire & Blood were decidedly mixed at best. Martin - actually begins 300 years before the main series, as it tells at great length the rise and fall of the House Targaryen. ![]() To confuse things further, the book that House of the Dragon is based on - 2018’s Fire & Blood by George R.R. While the spinoff is a continuation of the series, the story it tells is a prequel set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones fans might be a little confused about the origin of the upcoming HBO series, House of the Dragon. ![]()
