Fatboi is incapable of squaring^2 the "Others". It's his mental block. You can only steal so much from ancient Irish/pagan folklore before you run out of ideas.

Who cares anymore, its quasi fan fiction.

"I did begin a story placed about 100 years after the Downfall, but it proved both sinister and depressing. Since we are dealing with Men, it is inevitable that we should be concerned with the most regrettable feature of their nature: their quick satiety with good. So that the people of Gondor in times of peace, justice and prosperity, would become discontented and restless — while the dynasts descended from Aragorn would become just kings and governors — like Denethor or worse. I found that even so early there was an outcrop of revolutionary plots, about a centre of secret Satanistic religion; while Gondorian boys were playing at being Orcs and going around doing damage. I could have written a 'thriller' about the plot and its discovery and overthrow — but it would have been just that. Not worth doing."
-J.R.R. Tolkien, on why he didn't write A Song of Ice and Fire

oh I read this comment in that video and thought it was pretty good

>The dilemma present in A Song Ice and Fire that I've always found interesting is that there are various abusive government/cultural forces that people would be happier without BUT they are excellent tools for militarizing a people. The Free Folk do not have to bend the knee to a lord, BUT they are much weaker compared to the controlled, ordered, directed military of Stannis/the 7 Kingdoms. The Lhazareen are kind and gentle, like the pacifying character of Jesus/The Great Shepard, BUT they are regularly brutalized by the patriarchal Dothraki. Yes the Dothraki are cruel and abusive, BUT their system keeps them strong and enduring as a people.
>So, what do you think George will say about this? Will Dragons (technology) be the answer for how pluralistic society can over come the raw power of warrior men culture? Is it possible he will make a point about how pluralism can weaken a nation, and invite a warrior man culture to dominate it? It is possible this pluralistic movement is in fact part of the intentional undermining of a nation's warrior men, softening and preparing it for invasion and destruction?
>The primary message of A Song of Ice and Fire has always been to me "It is good to be good, but you must be capable of evil, otherwise evil men simply kill you, and brutalize your children, and those you leave behind." This is the lesson we should learn from Ned, who's unwillingness to play the Game, to be ruthless, earned him no honor, did no one any good, and simply left Westeros and his children in horrific circumstance. We can be as Ethically Superior as we want, but if we aren't practical about how we deal with the world, the others win. I think we just witnessed how even with a massive technological advantage the war machine of patriarchy is still a force to be reckoned with, doesn't mean its right, but it is a practical matter to be aware of.

It needed to be announced in May for a December release date, there's a long delay between finishing a book and its publication. There's no way it's out this year.
