I’ve come to the realization recently that this fat lazy fuck is shamelessly derivative. I read ASOIAF years ago, thought it was good, liked the first couple seasons of the show, then dropped it when the show split from the books.
A couple months ago I picked up Tad Williams’ memory, sorrow, and thorn series. A blurb on the cover from the first in the series in from GRRM saying it “inspired him to write his own fantasy series”. I’m on the last book in the series now and have come to the conclusion that GRRM just took Williams books and added penises and swear words.
Seriously I’m not sure how he hasn’t caught major public shit over this. Some of Tad Williams characters can be exhausting, but I think he’s a way better writer and his ideas definitely came first. Any one of his series would make a better HBO show than ASOIAF, especially Otherland. God damn I hate this fat fuck.
