    Books jumped the shark, show seems to be getting ready to jump

    will still be watching for sweet Mellisandre tits

    huh?
    A Feast for Crows and a Dance with Dragons SUCKED. badly.

    and he will never finish the 6th one


    first 3 books are the GOAT though

    The story grew in scope.

    This is the problem. It grew way to fucking large in scope, and Martin couldn't reel it back in. Endless pages wasted on characters no one cares about. Brienne wandering around aimlessly for 300 pages looking for a highborn girl with auburn hair is hours of my life ill never get back.

    He needed a good editor to tell him to cut the BS and move the plot forward. It's all moot though, because he's lost interest in even writing them. First 3 books in 5 years, next 2 (which are really just one, convoluted, cluster fuck of a book) took 15.

    Dont even get me started on ADwD...Young Griff, are you fucking kidding me? Quentin Martell? Dany spending too much time in fucking Mereen....get on with it George.

    I forgive the man though, because A Storm of Swords is the best book I've ever read.

    Until it wraps up, I won't judge the long boring stretches. Some of those details end up mattering.

    First time I read the books, I totally missed the importance of Ned's flashbacks. Seemed like filler at the time, just trying to show us how fucked up he was. And Bran's vision shit with the raven was boring too. But now we know it was all going somewhere.

    So until it turns out that those pages didn't matter, I'll assume they are setting something up or somehow meaningful.

    Agree that ASoS is probably the best book ever written.

    I'm just amazed that internet tuff guys like @PostGameOrangeSlices and @ThomasFremont can put aside their masculinity and hash out the finer intricacies of GoT.

    Book 4 sucked. Book 5 was ok. Book 3 GOAT.

    I need more Aria in my life. To me, that is the most exciting storyline I want to see develop.

    Martin originally intended for the series to skip forward in time. For whatever reason he decided against the skip, which became AFFC/ADWD to explain the gap. Of course these two began as a single novel but grew so much that he had to split them into two separate books.

    I think the story is now close to where he wanted to skip to, which means he has a clearer picture of how he wants the story to progress until the end of the series. He got caught trying to explain too many details than he originally intended, which is why parts 4-5 are so scattered and seem to go nowhere at times.

    Point being, GRRM may be related to Tequilla.

    A few months ago Martin announced the next book wouldn't be released before the next season was out on HBO.

    My guess is it will be released in late fall early winter from the things he said in that announcement. Either way, that fat fuck needs to write faster because he's a cheeseburger away from a heart attack.

    He must have heard you, because he announced yesterday that he is not writing anything else until TWOW is finished. No side projects, short stories, screenplays, etc. Link, buttfucker
