2.0

picked this up bc i wanted to know what happens next in House of the Dragon. finished it bc i listened on audiobook and had a lot of chores to do lol but i am concerned how this man filled 26 hrs with incest and rape and child rape???

honestly i did like how it was written like a history text with the varying sources open to interpretation. gives it kind of a fun gossipy feel. but there were so many parts where mentions of SA/rape and pedophilia would be inserted that were totally not necessary? i get it's supposed to be the medieval times but woah i did not need to hear about most of the things that happened but also at least the mentions were not graphic

anyway, i'm mostly satisfied that the show stays pretty true to the book. it is pretty impressive that GRRM wrote like a hundred years of political history for his fictional universe lol
