The-Nameless Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I like how the books pan out in general. What I dont like is it has taken him 17 years to release 5 books. Book 5 was released purely on accident, because he wrote book 4 and it was over 2000 pages long. R.R. Martin is a brilliant author, but cannot be ****ed to bother I dunno. Writing books his cult following wants to read, instead of putting out non-GoT series. He is going to die before he finishes game of thrones. He is old, and it was released a while back he has been very ill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Nameless Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Your complaining that the show is taking too long to make? He started writing GoT in 1991. Game of thrones is just BARELY newer than you not being a communist f0xx. in 22 years, he has written 5 books (one on accident?!?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mya Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 "Martin is firm about ending the series with the seventh novel "until I decide not to be firm",[15] leaving open the possibility of an eighth book to finish the series.[36] With his stated goal to tell the story from beginning to end, he will not truncate the story to fit into an arbitrary number of volumes.[30] Martin is confident he will publish at least The Winds of Winter before the TV series overtakes him,[19] although he has told major plot points to the two main Game of Thrones producers in case he should die.[19] (Age 62 in 2011, Martin is by all accounts in robust health.)[54] However, Martin indicated he would not permit another writer to finish the series." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Song_of_Ice_and_Fire#Bridging_the_timeline_gap_.282000.E2.80.932011.29 He will most likely die before ending the series, like Robert Jordan and the Wheel of Time. And Frank Herbert and the Dune Series. But he does not wants others to finish his work. So it's a doomed book serie. No doubt if the TV series is strong, it will finish the series without him. I just hope he keeps others from interfering with his creative process, so that we do not end with the bastardization that were latter Dune and Wheel of Time novels.

Akoz Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 It got so bad I never finished the Wheel of Time series. I honestly didn't know it was "ghost written" until I asked a friend why the hell it got so bad all of a sudden. They told me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demiterracotta Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I hope Martin finishes the series before he kicks it. I have to finish the story! And I don't much care for the show. (I know, break out the torches and pitchforks, don't like the Harry Potter movies much either, so bring rocks too.) Still waiting on the last Wheel of Time book.....they turned crappy, but I have to know how it ends, so I won't stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L-A Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Venting. Not a happy chapter. If I had to guess.....you got about....80% of the way of Dance and then posted this right? Nothing too bad had happened for a while, everyone was 'sort of' getting along in the world. Then - BAMN - its like a haymaker form Mike Tyson. Just comes out of no where eh? That or you're just p!seed because there are no demons in the book L-A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
