I just finished the first season of the Netflix series Marco Polo. Irrelevant of the accuracy of its depiction of the 13th century Mongol Empire, the glimpse it provided, for a layman such as myself, into their world absolutely destroyed my already poor opinion of George’s world building with respect to the Dothraki horde. Why in a world filled to the brim with such fabulous grey people/s, did he create such an absolutely bland and completely one sided society as the horselords of Essos? HelpPlz

Because it’s not bland or one-sided (which, what does that even mean in relation to an entire culture and society). Check out my Dany AGOT essays.
