 When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives. 

I can’t rate this any higher in good faith because of its handling of sexual violence, the presentation of the Dothraki and the youth of its characters, but man, there’s just something about the original ASOIAF novels that House of the Dragon and the Game of Thrones adaptation can’t quite capture.

A little too much incest and rape for me to truly enjoy, but the drama is pretty unmatched. 

I would also have liked a little more info on the Night's Watch.

mayaeatsbooks's review against another edition

200 pages in and nothing to hook me in. Only thing i enjoyed was removed from the story way to fast to make me even feel attached to it. Dealing with all the sexual assault and misogyny doesnt seem worth it so far. I dont doubt that it gets good eventually i just cant get through the way too much slow ass build up
