We're back with a super-sized wrap up episode for our coverage of our new book, Gods of Thrones, as well as putting George's Fire & Blood to bed as we consider the final third of the book, starting with "The Dying of the Dragons: Rhaenyra Triumphant". Anthony and I get things kicked off with a discussion of Lord Cregan Stark and his "Hour of the Wolf". Then I welcome our old pal Kim Renfro (follow her on Twitter!) back to discuss women in Westeros, our theories on Game of Thrones and GRRM himself. Finally, I interview illustrator Chase Stone, who did the cover and interior art for Gods of Thrones, about life as a professional artist, his work on Magic: The Gathering and The World of Ice and Fire, as well as his influences and techniques. Finally, we wrap up with a mammoth edition of feedback!

As always, you can purchase our book, Gods of Thrones on Amazon!  It's available in book and paperback editions!

Anthony jones me once again as we discuss the second third of GRRM's new Fire & Blood, as we consider from "Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Their Triumphs and Tragedies" to "The Dying of the Dragons: Rhaenyra Triumphant". Firewyrms! Mysteries of the wall! Dragon eggs beneath Winterfell! And many other interesting twists and tidbits we found in this fake history book detailing the first 150 years of Targaryen reign over Westeros.

As always, if you enjoyed our coverage, please consider checking out our book, Gods of Thrones. It's chock full of humor, interesting research about the origins of the religions and cultures of A Song of Ice and Fire, as well as fun theories and conjecture! It makes the perfect Christmas present for your favorite Game of Thrones fanatic.

My Gods of Thrones co-author Anthony is back once again as we do a deep dive on GRRM's latest work, Fire & Blood! We talk about events up to but not including "Jaehaerys and Alysanne, Their Triumphs and Tragedies". Next week we'll be reading up to "The Dying of the Dragons, Rhaenyra Triumphant", before finishing the book the week after. This week's all about Aegon, Maegor, and the third generation Targaryen that really steals the show, Jaehaerys! We talk about the gossipy tone the Maester sometimes takes, the doctrinal concept of "Targaryen Exceptionalism", missing dragon eggs, maester conspiracy theories, and that most well worn Thrones hobbyhorse, incest.

Yes! Our book is available in multiple formats, and is currently on sale! Buy it now and treat you or your favorite Thrones fan to a unique, informative, and funny gift. If you're so inclined, we'd really appreciate your rating and reviews!

Anthony and I talk about GRRM's latest book, Fire and Blood, which is a complete and in-depth historical account of the 300 year old Targaryen dynasty in Westeros. We discuss our initial thoughts, anything that might have changed some of our thoughts in Gods of Thrones, any intriguing jumping off points for theory-crafting, and consider fan feedback. Also, Anthony has some stunning revelations about the possible origins of the rib-bone that God took from Adam to make the first woman in the Genesis creation story. You don't want to miss this!

Anthony and A.Ron continue their deep dive into the characters and themes from their new book, "Gods of Thrones". Now available on paperback! Today we're talking about a polarizing character among the fandom, Catelyn Stark. What are the essential differences between Book!Cat and TV!Cat? What is her worst move in playing the Game? Who would win in an all-female Houseoff? How vital is Lady Stoneheart's arc to understanding Catelyn, and why does the show skip it entirely? We discuss and debate all this and more!

If you'd like to read more about how real life religions and cultures have shaped A Song of Ice and Fire as well as it's TV adaptation Game of Thrones, our book "Gods of Thrones" is now available in digital and paperback form. It makes a great Christmas present for your hard to please Thrones fan!

We have a special series of podcasts for you coming out over the next few weeks! Dr. Anthony Le Donne joins me today to talk about the new book we co-authored in the off-season, Gods of Thrones: A Pilgrim's Guide to the Religions of Ice and Fire, available now on Amazon. The book is filled with fun analysis of the religions, cultures, and characters of Game of Thrones and delves into the real life history and religion that inspired GRRM when creating his world. We discuss our history with Thrones/Song, as well as our book, its tone, our writing process, and our favorite things we learned in our research. We'll be back next week to talk more Gods of Thrones and take your questions. Later this month we'll be joined by some of your favorite podcast hosts and writers to host a three part book club-style review of George R.R. Martin's upcoming historical book on the Targaryens, Fire and Blood!

If you've read Gods of Thrones, please help us out by rating and reviewing it on Amazon!
