ButGeorge R.R. Martin ’s recent web log post check him ventilate about the show for gain too muchfrom his source textile , even mar a major coming moment .

" In Ryan ’s outline for time of year 3 , Helaena still bolt down herself … for no particular reason . There is no fresh horror , no triggering event to overpower the fragile immature fairy . "
Book readers knew Helaena ’s tragic last was coming , but the moment inFire & Bloodis compounded by a serial of dire events . Helaena was distinctly ache by Blood & Cheese in the show , but her final scenes in the time of year did n’t indicate any dawdle trauma , which would make it shocking for her to suddenly take her own life-time .
