No I don’t actually like Alys Rivers lol, I also find the age gap awkward, I was just worried she would spoil the relationship between Varona and Aemond (I’m glad she’s not going to)!
Sounds like Varona is going to have a very hard time and be forced to choose between Aemond her father :( I wish she could live happily with them both and the two sides can put aside their petty enmities and make peace.
It’s kinda tragic that the Dance is a story about a family fighting each other and none of them tried to make peace or think about the effects of war on the people or on their dynasty as a whole.
She definitely won't be a part of my story! If I decide to include any other love interests, they'll definitely be age appropriate haha! Vanora and Aemond are endgame for sure though!
If only, right? But then my story would be very boring, and I live for drama and suffering!!
And it's sort of realistic, I think? When it comes to power/money, people are willing to do anything - including betraying their family.
