Story

Earlier this year, George R.R. Martin expressed dissatisfaction with adaptations made in the second season of House of the Dragon. His blog post highlighted concerns over changes that he believed would negatively impact character development. Although he deleted the post shortly afterward, the tension it created was palpable at HBO, especially for showrunner Ryan Condal.
