“THEY BROKEN MY NOVEL” George R.R. Martin angrily Announce at blog post about everything that went wrong with ‘HOUSE OF THE DRAGON’
George R.R. Martin recently took to his blog to express his frustrations over the adaptation of his work in *House of the Dragon*, the HBO series based on his *A Song of Ice and Fire* universe. In a candid and surprisingly critical post, Martin did not hold back his disappointment regarding certain creative decisions made for the show. He hinted that there have been significant deviations from his original vision, changes that he believes have fundamentally altered the essence of his novel and its characters.
Martin wrote, “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 & I will.” This statement suggests that he plans to further elaborate on the specific aspects of the series that he feels have not lived up to his expectations. It’s a rare and stark admission from the author, who has generally been supportive of adaptations of his work, despite some controversies surrounding previous seasons of *Game of Thrones*.
While Martin did not go into explicit detail about what exactly has gone wrong, his words have sparked significant discussion among fans and followers of the *Game of Thrones* franchise. Many are eager to hear more about his perspective and understand the points of contention he has with the show’s development. Given Martin’s deep connection to his literary world and its intricate plots and characters, his criticism suggests that some aspects of the adaptation might have strayed too far from his original narratives or thematic intentions.
The author’s openness about his dissatisfaction could lead to broader discussions about the creative liberties taken in adaptations of beloved literary works and the challenges of translating complex novels into television series. For now, fans will have to wait for Martin’s promised follow-up posts to get a clearer picture of what exactly he believes has gone wrong with *House of the Dragon*.
