The book by George RR Martin on which the second season of Max’s ‘House of the Dragon’ (HBO) is based and which also advances what will happen in the third


It is evident that Game of Thrones It had a controversial ending. Although the most erroneous criticisms focused on the facts, disappointingly for some, the truth is that this was more a matter of problems of expectations. When you’ve waited so long for something, no matter what, you get angry at the possibilities that have been left out. No, where Game of Thrones lowered the level of his last two seasons, it was not in who beats who or who ends up reigning, but in how, in the path, in the development. It was there that it was noticed that, although George RR Martin had given the information about the outcome to HBO, he had not yet developed the story, the book.

We have been waiting for 13 years winter windswhich should be followed by spring dreamand put an end to Song of ice and fire. But we have to assume that the 75-year-old writer has grown tired of his main work and is moving on to other things… The good thing is that one of those things was the publication in 2018 of Fire and bloodnothing less than a novel of more than 800 pages that has served as the basis of The dragon house. We have already discussed in more detail the relationship between Fire and blood with The dragon house on the occasion of its premiere, but with the imminent arrival on Max (formerly HBO) of the second season, doubts arise again. What book does season 2 adapt The dragon house? Well, that is precisely what we are going to discuss in this article, without book spoilers.

‘The House of the Dragon’ season 2: what books does it adapt?

The most curious thing about the adaptation of Fire and blood by The dragon house The thing is that the series didn’t start at the beginning. Throughout those more than 800 pages, Fire and blood tells the entire history of the Targaryens since they arrived in Westeros. That is, about 300 years of struggles, successions, expansions and conquests. However, The dragon house decided to focus on an event that occurs after the middle of the book, the Targaryen Civil War called A Dance with Dragons.

The first season covers all the necessary context for this battle. That is, it begins with King Viserys I and places the different pieces that come into play for the dispute for the throne after his death between his children Aegon and Rhaenyra. This Dance with Dragons is a tremendously complex war in which, in season 2, bastard dragon riders will come into play, without the Targaryen surname but with their blood, which they have spread throughout Westeros during the past century of fighting.

Without going into spoilers, we just tell you that the narration of Fire and Blood of the Targaryan Dynasty ends the reign of the successor to the throne of the winner of this Dance of Dragons. That is to say, there is still a lot of rope to pull and plenty for a season 3. But on top of that George RR Martin intends to continue telling his story, and when the book ends there are still more than 100 years left until the birth of Daenerys and the events narrated in Game of Thrones. And if that were not enough, we would like to one day see Aegon’s conquest of Westeros and his exile from Valyria adapted.
