HouseoftheDragon writer and executive producer Sara Hess recently explained how George R.R. Martin’s 'Fire and Blood’s unreliable narrator shaped the series.
What gives House of the Dragon an edge over the last few seasons of Games of Thrones is the source material. But the series based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire and Blood is not just another adaptation, the beauty of the series lies in the fact that the book takes the form of a scholarly exposition by a character called archmaester Gyldayn, who takes into account various sources, viz septons, masters, and even a guy called Mushroom.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Martin outlines the Targaryen history in the Fire and Blood books as part of the backstory of his series A Song of Ice and Fire. Hess tells, “He’s very, very clear in writing the book that it is an unreliable narrative. So, nobody in that book actually knows what happened.
The makers also used this incongruity in establishing the patriarchal aspect of the show, “one of the themes that we ran with when we started thinking about it was that history is written by the victors, history is written by men. It’s men talking about what they think happened, and they are probably wrong,” Hess said. By far House of the Dragon has managed to surprise even the most voracious fans of the books with its twists and turns.
