    Ugh. The only thing worse than nothing would be an AI-generated conclusion. A reminder of time between books:

    • 2 years
    • 2 years
    • 5 years
    • 6 years
    • 14 years (and counting)…

    I liked this series, and the TV show before David Benioff & D. B. Weiss got bored with it and permanently ruined it.

    But the creator has no idea how to tie anything up, lied about how much was already completed a decade ago, refuses ghost-writing help from the publisher, and just doesn’t appear interested in it any more. I’m not saying he owes us anything, and his books have already made him fabulously wealthy, but if he seriously committed to finishing the series tomorrow… I just don’t know if I care any more.

      I honestly think he’s so afraid of not being able finish things in a satisfactory way, that he’s moved on and is just pretending to still be working on it.

      The insane thing is that just when the story seemed to be converging into some kind of climax, with most of the major players seemingly moving towards coming together to face the threat of the White Walkers, suddenly he opened everything up again with whole new narratives and characters and everything spreading out again. I have no idea what he is thinking.

        Scared of writing a bad ending with obvious twists like “and then be becomes all powerful and wins because he can see the future and has a good story that people like”
