‘House of the Dragon’: This Is the Best Change From ‘Fire & Blood’
Many things change in adapting books to screen, but House of the Dragon changes more than most. The structure of George R. R. Martin's Fire & Blood makes it impossible for the series to adapt the story accurately. Set up as a historical account, the story is unreliable, and the characters are not developed enough to lead a series. House of the Dragon handled the challenge well, making the necessary changes to the story, but some changes are better than others.
The change is relatively simple, but it creates a nuanced relationship that isn't common. The uniqueness of the situation certainly makes it a more compelling story and provides ambiguity that the original story doesn't account for. Alicent is not fully in the wrong as she slowly grows to resent Rhaenyra, nor is Rhaenyra's anger unjustified, though perhaps it is largely misplaced, at least at first.
With the war still on the way, Season 1 is more about the dysfunctional Targaryen family, and Rhaenyra and Alicent's relationship is the center of that. Their discord is passed to their respective children creating resentment and anger that no one can stop. The build-up is slow, but the degradation of Alicent and Rhaenyra's friendship is interesting enough, but the war it leads to only makes things worse.
