I didn’t know it was for plot hole reasons, though I wouldn’t be surprised. I thought it was just because the length was spiraling and he needed to publish the half that was done at the time.

Hey, don’t listen to me, I don’t know anything. That’s just an old memory, and I have no source to support it.
The story makes sense though. The secondary characters don’t have such complex story arcs, but you have to be careful with the mains, especially when they are all over the map, killing and getting killed hard to keep track of them all.
I don’t know the situation now, but he had a couple of assistants to help him keep track of everything, but they went off to write the Expanse series, and I don’t think they are with him anymore. Again, too lazy to look for a source, so take it with a grain of salt.
So I think he’s painted into a corner, and doesn’t remember enough about his own world to keep from falling down a plot well.
Eh, the White Walker thing was always dumb anyhow.
