The corrupt queen and her brother making whoopee certainly shows that nothing is sacred in the supposedly primitive society that exists back then. And the show doesn't shy away from that type of stuff.
Lord of the Rings, this ain't.
In this story it is disdained. You might think it's some alien world, and this might be an extreme case, but in the Age of Enlightenment, incest was pretty rampant in European royal families, (as well as around the world). All about keeping the power and money in the family. My impression is that they did not have a good handle on the consequences of incest from a health standard. Morally it was ok as far as I know.
The good news, or I should say, the rumors I am hearing is the next book, is being broken up over two seasons. I don't know if this is true though. I read via my RSS feed. But it was just a rumor at the time.
Great news!
the last 2 books take place at the same time but each one takes place with different characters. book 4 has lots of filler as well as 5 that they can probably do them in 2-3 seasons
from the latest trailer it looks like the next season will have parts of book 4 in it
As a rule I don't care for this approach. The bad news is that I don't think they will do this in the show, which means they have less material to run the story, the good news is that they might combine the stories and take a couple of seasons to tell this part of the story arc.
not going to spoil it, but the bran story line was my least favorite in the books. especially how it ended for him.
You all ready have!
Don't say another word. I hate it when I have vested myself in characters who have the life snatched out of them or some other terrible fate.
It does make for an interesting story though. I assume dragon lady is going to be in the the middle of "the final" conflict whenever that is. Based on how this series goes, good guys who have been held up seem to be subsequently skewered, so now when someone seems to get an advantage, I prepare myself for disappointment.
I predict the dwarf will marry the Dragon Lady and they will live happily ever after with his squeeze on the side.
