Of all the terrible fates that befall the characters across the story, what happens to the people of Lake Town is arguably one of the worst tragedies, because many people who die in the dragon’s terrible fire and wrath are innocent bystanders, women and children who were simply victims swept up in a much larger political endeavor....
