ATTENTION, MARTIN MADE AN UPDATE!

Still no book, though, although it's the biggest straight up update in years. It's almost...optimistic in its wording. Saying that a lot will be different in the book compared to show, especially mentioned Euron being different (you can smell the salt coming out of these words).

hundreds of pages to go lmao

What's his endgame?

Some of our modern authors are classics of tomorrow.

admit it - a song of ice and fire is a modern masterpiece to be compared with the likes of Tolstoy (WAR & PEACE) and Shakespeare (major tragedies) at their best.

Does he write good books?

If this is the last season of Game of Thrones, why can’t fatass finish his books?

Can we all agree that Tolkien had the better worldbuilding but GRRM had the better characters?

As in, proper 3 dimensional characters who act like real people and don't start singing during every mundane activity.
