"I'd have them finished": Game of Thrones author George RR Martin says the one thing he'd change about A Song of Ice and Fire is the same thing we've wanted for 13 years

Us too, George, us too

Apologies for the slightly off-topic post…

It’s not looking good, folks…

George R R Martin confirms he hasn’t written anything for the 2 remaining A Song Of Ice And Fire books since 2022.

He wishes that they were finished.

The last published book in the series, A Dance With Dragons, was published in July 2011, now 13 years ago.

Obligatory song that’s now 12 years old… https://youtu.be/j7lp3RhzfgI

    So the ending was always going to have to move away from what made the series interesting/successful

    While you have a point, I don’t think the ending was necessarily bad because of that.

    To me the resolutions they did use were just badly executed. I’d have been fine with the battle of the bastards resolving the Bolton plot, if the battle as shown didn’t make me scream at my screen every 2 minutes from all the logic holes. Same with the fall of Highgarden, Daenerys going insane, Bran becoming King etc. They could have reached mostly the same outcomes and it could have been fine. But the build up and the attention to detail just weren’t there at all. And it wasn’t even that they ran out of time, they deliberately shortened the last 2 seasons because they wanted it to be over.
