George R.R. Martin Discusses His Book FIRE & BLOOD 

Watch the full event here! 🐉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EXZE_KQnat4.html

When you know more about the history of a fictional world more than your own you know that the writer is really good

“Im not the fastest writer in the world” well I’m glad he said it

“No one wants to read about the prosperities in the reign of Jaehaerys” My favourite chapters in the book strangely

George finishing Fire and Blood to avoid working on The Winds of Winter, was what I like to call “productive procrastination”… like when I clean the house because I don’t want to grade papers.

Just noticed his buttons have dragons engraved on them. Love it

I remember being so shocked finding out GRRM was American. He understands British history so well it’s shocking

Fire and Blood was an awesome read I wish we could get a series showing Aegon's conquest

The guy is a bona fide genius. He’s given us a fabulous fantasy world based on our own with his own unique spin. So many places still open to explore. Thanks George

I really don't care how long it takes (despite my impatience for wanting to know) for him to tie his story together... As long as he is able to produce something that he's proud of, i know ill enjoy it. His love for Tolkien really shows in his work and was able to add his own touch to the unique world building allowed by such a complex history. But my favorite part of his writing is having a story told from various perspectives... It allows revelations to be staring you right in the face and encapsulates so much more depth than a story edited by the victor!

George is amazing, I've never been so immersed in a fictional world as the one he created That's why I have patience because I know he's going to do something amazing with Winds of Winter too

I have so much respect for this man. I'd love to be able to meet him and just thank him for all he has given us.

The testimony of Mushroom is hilarious

George is an excellent writer. Love the world and the great characters he has created. Thank you George.

From a watcher to now a reader of his books must say I'm pleased he also wrote some stuff for Elden Ring

People seem to be really missing what Martin was doing with Fire and Blood. The amount of people saying this isnt exactly how it happened in the book for House of the Dragon. The entire point of writting as if by an in world Maesters hundreds of years after the events is that it may not be an accurate account. So saying it's not exactly how the book portrays it, makes sense. The book is only supposed to be a historian doing his best to piece together events he wasnt there for. So Martin is flat out telling us this is probably not exactly how it really happend.

Lol George expressing every history lovers plight.

The things i would do to get those 20 new novels!

I can't wrap my head around the fact that George actually published a book in my lifetime (I only discovered him and the world of game of thrones in 2019) can't believe this is happening. I'll get it as soon as I digest it being real. I'm sharing this hoping anyone else feels similarly, cause otherwise I just appear to be a weirdo

I walked into this book with some consternation after what I heard from some readers. But I absolutely loved Fire and Blood and it read brilliantly. That may be because I read a terrible lot of actual history books and it’s written in the style of a historian covering the first half or so of Targaryen rule. I was surprised by how much content is actually in the book. It doesn’t just mention a ton of names and cover a reign in a couple of pages. We get quite an in-depth look at some of the most important events in the history of Westeros. I personally loved it so much I bough the illustrated companion book The Rise of the Dragon. Although as fantastic as they both are, I still want to see a new ASOIAF book already. Don’t get me wrong, I love the world building, because it brings the world to life and gives you a fresh perspective rereading the original series. Which I haven’t done just yet, but you will obviously know a ton more back story if you read Fire and Blood. I’ve always gravitated towards House Targaryen, so I couldn’t get enough of this.

My body is ready for Fire & Blood Part 2! 😅

and Jaehaerys is my favorite part of the book lol. My lords I will have roads!

I love Jaehaerys! He’s one of my favourite, and Alysanne.. she’s one kind of a woman! Love them so much!

I think that’s the brilliance of House of the Dragon, it’s like watching a stylish documentary about a story that has been told by different people but what we’re watching as an audience is what seems to be revealed as the facts and the stories in the books are more fables than actual facts

How did he write the first three books so fucking fast?!

Correction 06:58 Edward II was not deposed by his son but by his own Wife "Isabel of France" and her lover the powerful Marcher Lord "Roger Mortimer". Isabel and Roger Mortimer ruled England as Regend until Edward III (The murdered Kings son) overthrew them, Isabel was imprisoned, Roger Mortimer hanged. Edward III later started the famous 100 Years War against the french, claiming the Throne of France through his Mother, Isabel of France.

In choosing to compile the Fire & Blood & Rise of the Dragon to accompany the House of the Dragon series, George RR Martin took his focus off the present to expand on the past thus making House Taragaryen relevant again.

"I'm not the fastest writer in the world" Yeah we fucking know.

Are we going to get second part or not? That's the only question that should've been asked.

“I’m not the fastest writer in the world” 😂

Wow, so cool the guy from Aqua does everything

George has lost some weight and is looking healthier. Gives more hope that he might actually finish the books before the Reaper comes for him.

Contrary to George’s belief about Jaehaerys reign, it’s my favorite part of the book so far. For context I’m about 500 pages in

Among the targaryen names, at some point there will be a "Daegon" or just Dagon.

Where do you get those dragons eggs and dragon figures 😮

I wish he writes a book like Fire and Blood but about the Starks and the Night Watch

this interview is interesting, GRRM admits that, upon request of HBO, WoW has been put aside for a while to concentrate on finishing Fire and Blood.

Fire & Blood 🩸 is incredible

I Claudius is indeed best historical tv show ever made

when the wind of winter and fire blood second volumen ????

Will Winds of Winter be the last book in the Song of Ice and Fire saga?

who's the other author who's interviewing Mr Martin? very interesting chat

Wow

When will we get “winter is coming”

I would rather discuss the Winds of Winter and A Dream of Sp-..oh right...

BUT WHAT ABOUT WINDDDSSSS GEORGIE

What’s the clear difference between a writer and an author, as they are distinctly introduced? Honestly curious

What is the difference between fire and blood, and rise of the dragon. I am kind of lost 😅

The only thing about fire and blood is the outragous amount of names that dont always matter

Why are these so quiet? I have to max out my speakers to hear what's going on.

جورج ❤️

Wow so it was the publishers fault why we havnt gotten wow

Nts 1:05

Deute. 18:10-14, Deute. 27:22,

This interviewer is bombing

George gets most of his ideas from history.

Aren't they discussing Fire & Blood? They never talked about The rise of the dragon

Cute

he's never gonna finish the original book series huh?

Daemon survived. He'll come back in the current series.

great interview but the interviewer puts me to sleep

Literally every year since however long it's been after the last book ASOIAF came out fan channels are like "Here it is, WOW is finally coming!!" Meanwhile GRRM has found time to do anything else but finish his main series... Fire & Blood, working on HOTD and a bunch of spinoffs, God knows what else. I would have taken ONE REALLY GOOD GAME OF THRONES SERIES from start to finish, based on actual finished book material, over every consolation spinoff show and consolation book combined. TBH I wish he had just finished Winds and Dream instead of writing Fire & Blood. He's never gonna finish this series, people. Look at the mans' physical condition-- does that look like a healthy man to you, one that's gonna live that much longer? Listen to all the vague excuse-making in his interviews-- does that sound like a guy that has any intention at all of finishing ASOIAF to you? NO. Neither thing. We'll get the products of all GRRM's other distractions but we're never getting the rest of the original books. At least I held off on investing all the time in reading the series to date. I saved myself the aggravation of not getting a proper ending twice instead of just suffering the destruction of the show.

Definitely freezing... this way your body is intact for the resurrection

*My* *Favorite* *Targaryens* 1. *Daemon* the Rogue Prince 2. Jaehaerys I the Conciliator 🐐👑 3. Alysanne the Good Queen 🐐👑 4. Aegon I the Conqueror 5. Visenya the Dowager Queen 6. Brynden Rivers the Lord Bloodraven 7. Baelor Breakspear 8. Aemon the Dragonknight 9. Daemon Blackfyre 10. Rhaena the Black Bride (daughter of Aenys I) 11. *Rhaenyra* the Realm's Delight 12. *Viserys I* the Peaceful 13. *Rhaenys* the Queen Who Never Was 14. *Baela* the Dragon Twin 15. *Viserys II* 16. *Aegon* *III* the Dragonbane 17. Maegor the Cruel 18. *Aemond* the Kinslayer 19. Daenerys the Breaker of Chains 20. Alyssa (Viserys & Daemon's mother) So I have the same favorite Targaryen as George R.R. Martin. So what? He creates these characters. His favorite dragon is Balerion which would be my favorite dragon as well. Tyrion Lannister was his favorite from Game of Thrones who was also my favorite. Well, at least up to S4. Among book readers, Viserys I is not exactly regarded a good king. In fact , many readers blame him for the civil war breaking out. But Paddy added so much layers to him that he raised the character's stock from the TV show. Paddy truly deserves an Emmy. There is a Blu-ray version that will add some deleted scenes. I believe once this Blu-ray version is out, this longer cut should be the only version that HBO should keep re-airing. The version we just watched is the Make-Daemon-A-Demon cut. Sick and tired of HBO writers trying to dirty GRRM's favorite Targ that Matt Smith has to come up with improv to prevent them from assassinating his character. I'm aware Daemon isn't good but at least give him a fair shake and stop insulting his fans thinking we are all morons. Ryan Condal and Sara Hess come off extremely condescending to their viewers. Sorry if Daemon isn't written like Paul Rudd, Sara.

this guy has a wife................ oh........... ok!

He's more confused than we are about the stupid books. 🤣

"I'm not the fastest writer in the world." Yeah, no shit.

Just finished the book. Not a big fan of this one.

Love, George. This host is awful though.

I don’t wanna sound racist but in regards to fire and blood too much time is spent on targaryian race and not on wessos

Dammit, George. Stop doing interviews and keep writing. *_Then_* you can do a few interviews about the last book for a few months. But if you want to finish the last one before 2060, you better get to work.

Fire and weiners
