Do you think Winds will ever be released?

The wiki and TWOIAF are far better than the actual story

I think when he’s dead the book will be released. WoW will be stitched together and the cracks filled in like Tolkien’s posthumous stuff and the final book will be written using whatever notes he leaves by someone else like wheel of time.

Everything up to Storm of Swords was fantastic. Slice of life style fantasy against the creeping backdrop of happenings.

I would like an in-depth explanation why it has taken a decade to write it and it still isn't done

[Anonymous No.17930514]

Because GRRM is a hack and doesn't know how to plan out anything in his stories
Not that he needs to since he already has enough money to purchase a small country

feast for crows is unironically the best book

OP here I just figure it's hard because he doesn't know how to end his universe. Event tolkien didn't end his he just had the elves go away and then cut off the story.

but GRRM is writing a civilizational transformation of his world which is a much bigger task than he probably thought and he probably isn't enough of a historian to know how to do it effectively

I meant winds isn't the last book in the series. he isn't currently writing the ending for his saga. the story is still between arcs 1 and 2.

[Anonymous No.17930711]

My predictions for Winds:
>Edric Storm Vs Aegon civil war. Stormalnds back Edric because he's more well known and don't want another Targ shit on the throne
>Sam + Euron becoming unwilling BBFs and Euron saves Sam because he knows lore shit. Euron slaughters the entire Hightowers and unwillingly saves Sam
>Jon survives by warging into Mance's son after having a brief stint in Ghost
>Daenerys dies but she's resurrected setting up stuff for A Dream of Spring
>Bran becomes King somehow and we have a 5-10 year time skip taking place in ADOS

It feels so good that I completely missed every single peice of media of GOT. Becuase I dont want any more books.

And if they do come out in 10 years, hey, guess I have a new series to read and not seethe about the blueballs.

this is the worst winds prediction I've read and I still go to the asoiaf forums daily to read about the in depth analysis about rape in westeros

I hope he never releases another book

>>17930802
he will probably release lots of new books, just not the one book everyone wants him to.

[Anonymous No.17930827]

>>17930814
for sure. he's probably sitting on a bunch of stuff, like that autistic targaryen history book

[Anonymous No.17930851]

>>17930814
in the 10 years he didn't release winds he released world of ice and fire
and fire blood and worked with the show for 4 years. now that he has time again and is in a lockdown what does he do? signs a deal with HBO to have more shit to do other than to write winds aaaa

It doesn’t really matter. The rights will go to his wife or kids when he dies so it’s whether they wanna let someone else finish it or not.

I read excerpts of his books. I think I could write better at 12, don't get what the hype is about.
>“We will have it all back someday, sweet sister,” he would promise her. Sometimes his hands shook when he talked about it. “The jewels and the silks, Dragonstone and King’s Landing, the Iron Throne and the Seven Kingdoms, all they have taken from us, we will have it back.” Viserys lived for that day. All that Daenerys wanted back was the big house with the red door, the lemon tree outside her window, the childhood she had never known.

GRRM's prose is absolute shite, but I think he's really good at creating character conflicts. Probably why ASOIAF worked really well as a show until GRRM's slow ass wasn't able to figure out what he wanted his story to be, and 2 retards had to try to fill in his holes

I'm sorry but this is objectively good writing. It's actually quite, and it has complexity that shows some real thought. Just in this excerpt I see GRRM juxtaposing Viserys' weirdness with Deanerys homeliness, and that also seems like Viserys is foil for Deanarys... There's good quality characterization here too. It's not just mechanically interesting either. I know you're exaggerating, but think even a very precocious child would struggle to write that well.

Well, he said it might be done by the end of the year.....of course, that was back in 2015

How do I fill the void with something interesting? I've given up on this fucking hack ever finishing the series but I keep spending hours on theories for books that will never be released or reading the wiki, it's a total waste of time and I don't even enjoy it
I don't know why I still do this
