Fans of the HBO series House of the Dragon are debating a significant change from George R.R. Martin's book regarding the relationship between Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower. While the show depicts them as childhood best friends of the same age, differing from the book's portrayal of Alicent as Rhaenyra's older stepmother, fans largely agree the friendship should have ended by now, feeling the writers have not committed to the tragic potential of their evolving dynamic.
