Comment on George R. R. Martin's New Announcement Has Finally Made Me Accept He's Never Finishing The Winds Of Winter

Yeah I 10/10 believe the world got too big and too detailed for him to handle. Hot take: I don’t think he’s nearly as talented a fantasy writer as he puts on. Readers already started pointing out inconsistencies. Then when you add in how the show ended, I’m sure that sealed the deal for him that the story will be “under construction” in perpetuity.

That’s a good point, he may just not be skilled enough to finish it. Annoying thing is that surely he could just get the white walkers to finish off loads of characters he’s stuck on!

I think the show definitely knocked the wind out of his already massive sails.

He couldn’t write it fast enough to finish before the show did so we got a shitty sped up ending that he should completely ignore. Write out people the way that makes literary sense and it will make people happier than the show ending.

Take the unhappiness of the fans to show you what you should avoid for sure and maybe hire some assistance to get this shit to the presses.
