Source material is also read as a narration of the story of Targaryen rather than a story, which also leaves much open to interpretation. This means that the HBO show is full of unexpected twists and turns, which keep viewers on their guard.

While many of these events have been spoken in books, seeing them come to life Dragon House was exhilarating. From the deadly impulses of Daemon to the massive misunderstandings by Aemond and Viserys, these shocking events added immense dramas and the suspense to medieval fantasy. This continued through season 1 and season 2 of Dragon HouseSome being more surprising than others.
