@daenysdreams So true. And Martin had a metaphor for Targaryen women being bad rulers with Rhaenyra losing almost all the dragons and overthrowing her house with the Dragonseeds. (You can make up whatever metaphor you like with a story).
@ladyofwinterr@troiaas@Aryastarkling_ Pretty sure it was just cersei and Stannis, and it probably would have been easier for him to fix that than make Dance two books where nothing happens and him being stuck.
