truly loved reading it and I do think it’s an incredible feat to have built this world and these characters… but I have to remove a star for some of the absolutely insane wild things written about dany…. At some points i just wanted to sit him down and go you’re actually not a 14 year old girl you’re a grown adult man and I should kill you…

The 1st book is basically the 1st season but with so much more

 When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives. 

I can’t rate this any higher in good faith because of its handling of sexual violence, the presentation of the Dothraki and the youth of its characters, but man, there’s just something about the original ASOIAF novels that House of the Dragon and the Game of Thrones adaptation can’t quite capture.

Oh the books are way better than the show. I particularly love that we get the characters’ thoughts, it really adds a good dimension to the story. The world building and character development is just leagues better in the book. Also pisses me off that they removed most of the magical elements in the show. 

I will say that George RR Martin is sick. Particularly, his depiction of Dany was fucking gross. Some of her scenes felt like pedophilic fantasy tbh. 

But I can’t lie and say I didn’t enjoy the book as a whole… and I will be reading the whole series in time for his long awaited finale(s) to this damn story. 

I’m especially excited to meet Lady Stoneheart, and discover what Sansa’s true story is (the show runners are going to hell for giving her that rape plot).

I really really enjoyed this. The only thing keeping me from giving it a full five is the incest. 

Daenerys bringing about the new age of the dragons is amazing.
