George R.R. Martin says he’ll write about ‘everything that’s gone wrong’ with ‘House of the Dragon’

The House of the Dragon Season 2 finale didn’t go down particularly well with fans, but the show may be about to get its biggest critic yet: George R.R. Martin, the author of the book the series is based on, Fire and Blood.

On Friday, Martin posted a new “Not a Blog” entry in which he talked about Siesta in Sante Fe, during which a giant marionette called Zozobra is burned as a way of “devouring the darkness.”

“Believe me we need that, more than ever before,” wrote the author. “The world, the country, and yes, certainly me. This has not been a good year for anyone, with war everywhere and fascism on the rise… and on a more personal level, I have had a pretty wretched year as well, one full of stress, anger, conflict, and defeat.”

Martin went on to say that he plans to talk more about this in future blog entries — and that he’ll also be sharing his thoughts on House of the Dragon.

“I do not look forward to other posts I need to write, about everything that’s gone wrong with HOUSE OF THE DRAGON… but I need to do that too, and I will,” Martin wrote. “Not today, though.”

Yikes. This is particularly notable because the language Martin uses is fairly blunt. When speaking about Game of Thrones‘ ending in the past he’s explained that he wished it could have gone on for longer, but he’s typically avoided giving his own personal opinion about the show.

If we had to guess, we’d say Martin’s most likely to have some things to say about what’s gone on behind the scenes of House of the Dragon — maybe some of the logistics that caused a key battle to be pushed into Season 3, leaving Season 2 on a cliffhanger, for instance.
