George R. R. Martin is the most in-demand author in the world right now. His popularity exploded after HBO adapted his A Song of Ice and Fire novel series for Game of Thrones, with a prequel show House of The Dragon currently on its way. Martin has also contributed to the world-building of the highly successful game Elden Ring, and is also working with Marvel to bring out his own comic book series. That being said, he has also watched all 10 episodes of the first season of the upcoming series House of The Dragon, and he absolutely loved it.

He wrote on his blog Not A Blog after returning from quarantine:
“I’ve seen all ten episodes now (albeit in rough cuts), and I love what I’ve seen. Ryan and Miguel and their amazing cast and crew have done some magnificent work. Hot D is all I hoped it would be; dark, powerful, visceral, disturbing, stunning to look at, peopled with complex and very human characters brought to life by some truly amazing actors.
(Oh, and FIRE & BLOOD is back on the NEW YORK TIMES bestseller list, and rocketing up every week. I wonder if there is any connection).
Anyway…. there’s lots more I could report, but that will need to wait. Stuff to do.
Glad to be home.”
