George R.R. Martin Raves About ‘House Of The Dragon’ So Far: “Magnificent”


George R.R. Martin is a proud papa. The prolific author gave the season 2 launch of House of the Dragon an enthusiastic review on his blog.

He wrote that he stopped by England’s Leavesden Studios to tour the drama’s sets that he described as “spectacular.” Tom Glynn-Carney brings Aegon alive in ways we have not seen before; he’s more than a villain here, he shows us the king’s rage, his pain, his fears and doubts. “Rhys Ifans has been splendid as Otto Hightower every time he has been on screen, but he exceeded himself in ‘Rhaenyra the Cruel.”’ His scene with King Aegon and Criston Cole after the ratcatchers are hanged just crackles with wit, tension, drama, a performance that cries out for awards attention.
