Another week, another sample from something Good King
George has got cooking — if, of course, by “another week” you mean “last
week.” Yes, since Stefan and I recorded this episode, yet another
excerpt from George R.R. Martin, Elio Garcia Jr., and Linda Antonsson’s
worldbook The World of Ice and Fire has been released. No matter! Like the modern-day maesters we are, we stay focused on the matters at hand, specifically the sample unveiled on GeorgeRRMartin.com regarding House Targaryen’s flight from Valyria and Aegon’s Conquest of Westeros.
The sample raises many intriguing questions — indeed, more than it
answers — on everything from the bloody century the Targaryens spent on
Dragonstone between the Doom and the Conquest to Aegon and his sisters’
adoption of the Faith of the Seven. After Stefan and I discuss these
matters, we follow up on a related Tower of the Hand roundtable and ask
what place supplementary materials like this should even have in a work
of narrative fiction. Saddle up, dragonlords!
F*ck Yeah, Boiled Leather! It's been too long man, too long. A pity you got the whole thing recorded before the other samples came out, but I still enjoyed though. Hope you guys can get some free time to come up together for another installment, know that you and Mr. Collins are always busy. Thanks again, listened to it while having some Chinese after work.
