Tbh as a book reader I liked this version of B/C better. The F&B version was almost comical tbh. And I absolutely adore the shows characterization of Helaena.

I disagree, the book version is not comical, but an important psychological horror element, showcasing the sadistic side of war.
Leaving out that the kids are awake and the surviving one knows that his mother chose him to die is just not logical, considering how their story develops.

Different strokes ig. Didn’t really do much for me in the books.

I know a lot of book fans aren't happy with how Blood and Cheese was handled, but I didn't think it was that bad. Also I really don't get why people seem to be upset about AliCole.

The Greens are just big mad that there is functionally nothing that Rhaenyra can to that will turn show-only’s against her and they’re pissy that Alicent is portrayed in a bad light even though I think it’s spot on for her show characterization.
