IT'S HAPPENING
>THE WINDS OF WINTER is going to be a big book. The way it is going, it could be bigger than A STORM OF STORMS or A DANCE WITH DRAGONS, the longest books in the series to date. I do usually cut and trim once I finish, but I need to finish first.

>oh yeah btw winds is gonna be big lol
I hate this fat fuck, but I hate myself more for actually getting exited when I read this absolute nothing statement.
Eh. The ship already sailed. Nobody cares anymore. I'll just read a Dream of Spring just to know what went on
>I'll just read a Dream of Spring
You won't, unless you jump into some parallel reality.
I could see the release of WoW overshadowing the show, which may perhaps be why he waited so long to release it.
>Book 7 will definitely come soon
>It is on it's way
>The book is coming! There'll be three--no, FIVE! FIVE major character deaths!
>But first, here's a 320,000 word novel about my dick
More like The Winds of Wiener, amirite?
I've always found this show classless. Never saw the appeal.
That's all american humor
Martin's characters have mono dimensional and random behavioral patterns, their actions are not prepared in the script, they delve into erratic petty politics and schemes to provoke and impress the reader in a world that dragons existed and exist and in a world that shadows kill people from afar and magical frost themed outsiders threaten the lands. How can that make sense? Why would you care about taxes and who your psychopath son will marry in his reign when there are priests who raise the dead and assassins who take whatever form they want in order to kill whomever they want, etc? This is an "art" that poses as pseudo realistic, but in truth is an undecided mix of high fantasy, medieval pseudo realism, porn, epic parody and Martin's personal complex about how cruel the world is. The problem with his art is, that it does not make sense and it does not have cohesion and a robust core like Tolkiens art did. He fails because he has not decided on what the core of his work is. Hell, he doesn't even have a main story. Oh, and by the way, he needs to lose the RR's from his middle name. It's embarrassing.
So is ASOIAF also shit garbage that is just promoted because it appeals to subhumans, or is it actually good?
South Park thinks that it's smart political commentary, and it's written by libertarians. Obviously it's going to be garbage.
You've never read it.
South Park is a lampoon of extremism.
>or is it actually good?
It's Harry Potter for adults.
>I've always found this show classless. Never saw the appeal.
>Never saw the appeal.
>found this show classless
> the appeal
> classless
There you go.
Is it though? A lot of the time they "make fun of" fairly moderate positions like opposing climate change or opposing tobacco.
I thought the books were mostly fine, except 4, which was shit. Who cares anymore? The show was garbage. Forget about it and find something else to read.
Normie cringe
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I'M-I'M-I'M GONNA FUCKIN REAAAAAAAD
Two more years!
Calm down, not seeing a release date here. I'm still expecting it to be released in about 2030, then GRRM will promptly die before the last book is done.

This fat faggot literally just put this there to piss me off. ‘It’s gonna be long, I just gotta finish haha (sike!)’
The fact that he knows it's going to be the biggest in the series implies that he wrote more pages than he did for the other books or he's about to. Either way, it implies he's close to finishing the book or at least the first draft before the trimming.
It's better news than "less is not none".
>GRRM publishes WInds of Winter
>dies soon after
>Brandon Sanderson is hired to write Dream of Spring
Look in your heart. You know this will happen.
I’ve heard opinions though that GoT has too much darkness in it for Sanderson; that he’d struggle to get into the characters in truly intense gruesome situations well enough. People had this criticism about his WoT books (I haven’t read them myself).
Who knows, I have never read Sanderson, but the man can poop out books at a stupid rate and the publisher would probably just want to get the last book out as soon as possible.
Sanderson said in a post on reddit that he won't finish the books and he doesn't think they'll ask him to.
Just get interdimensional internet. Tons of cool stuff there.
>but I need to finish first.
So in other words, nothing new to report.
>or is it actually good?
Not really. It's basically a pseudo-Medieval soap opera with a thin veneer of fantasy that goes in heavily on tits, violence and killing your favorite characters. Everyone plots and schemes and hurts others and fucks and has secrets, people die horribly, everyone's a bastard, people change allegiances and get stabbed in the back, there's blood magic and lots of revenge and people getting edgier, et cetera. If you're a genre lit fan into grittier books and don't expect anything more than to be moderately entertained then the first three or so books are worth checking out. The first four seasons of the HBO show are an exceptionally successful adaptation (mostly because of outstanding casting and production values) but then it stumbles for a bit before falling off of a cliff and expiring ungraciously at the bottom of said cliff after voiding its bowels all over itself.
it's pretty funny because it just sort of goes after everything.
He will die soon, a "suitable" amount of time will pass, and a ghost writer selected by his estate will finish the series, but is right, no one will care at that point
This fat fuck is getting paid millions to write blog posts like this. Meanwhile I have a complete, finished novel, and I can't even get anyone to read it.
It has its highs and lows. It's good as a drama where you can challenge yourself to read between the lines to figure out what's going to happen in the story. is kind of right, but the show stopped being good as soon as it stopped following the books as it caught up with them. The story has a good logic to it, where the shocking events aren't unbelievable, and some of them you should have seen coming a mile away. With almost 11 years since the last book was published, autists have more or less predicted what will happen in The Winds of Winter with what has since been set up.
This will never happen because one of the main points of ASOIAF is that religion is bad, and Sanderson is a pious mormon.
ASOIAF books aren't even that long. 300,000 words is nothing when the reading level is middle school.
George got a bunch of backlash for the "less is not none" blog so this is his way of assuring the fans that haven't given up on him that he's totally working on it guys, it's coming, he's gonna be done soon.
I'll believe it when I see it.
>I do usually cut and trim once I finish, but I need to finish first.
Editing and "trimming" is going to take over a year for Martin for a book like this and he hasn't even gotten to that stage. RIP ASOIAF
Lost interest ten years ago
He’s been saying it will be the biggest for years though. Just saying ‘btw guys, it will be big!’ is just more putting it off and saying that it won’t be done any time soon, or probably ever.

Read some fucking Maurice Druon instead of supporting this harry poofter horseshit.
I listened to all the audiobooks up to this point so I'll no doubt finish the rest if it ever comes out but I won't be happy about it. Plus he took so fucking long Dotrice died. Now they'll have some new cunt reading and it's gonna be worse and I'm gonna hate it.
The comfy grampa reads to you quality was half the enjoyment desu senpai.
Go check it out from the library and see for yourself. Or don't. No one on earth really gives a shit.
I mean I don't know how much a publisher could get away with but GRRM has said on more than one occasion that if he dies before the series is done he has left instructions to destroy all his notes and never, EVER let anyone write anything else set in his worlds.
He saw what happened to (Ring World?) after the author died, he doesn't want that happening to him.
Of course this was before the show.
i have that same $40 bookshelf from walmart
i'm turning soi bros...
As someone who unironically loves the books (get fucked) I could care less about anything he says until he says it's finished, edited, approved, and hitting shelves on . Which I'm not expecting any time soon. In fact I'm not expecting it at all, much less for him to publish Spring before he has a massive heart attack.
> As someone who unironically loves the books (get fucked)
Where can I find these audiobooks for free?
Pay someone to edit it.
i really liked dotrice, i just wish a director or someone taught him the fucking proper way to pronounce brienne and damphair.
harry lloyd would be great for TWoW. he did a great job for dunk and egg.
>Arya struggles to contain her awesomeness
You've never read it.
This is the worst news possible short of him tragically passing or announcing flat-out that he's not going to finish.
Last time the book got too big he split it into more books. That's happened twice. There is no chance he will conclude the story in seven books.
His philosophy is to take the time he needs to make the story what it's supposed to be. He wants to finish in seven because it's a thematically appropriate number (he said this), but then he wanted to write a trilogy when he set out too. And he has now a decades-long history of failing to accurately estimate the scope of these novels.
The final book should be tentatively titled "A Dream of Conclusions" because at this point he's lying to himself and thinking magically if he believes A Dream of Spring will provide enough space for him to write everything he needs to.
He told us he won't sacrifice anything else he wants to do in order to finish the novels. He's actually said he feels sorry for people looking forward to them and expecting news. He has no attachment to it. He can justify to himself that the series had a conclusion in the form of the TV show, and now he's focusing on smaller projects he can assure himself he'll see through to the end. And he has no fear of the novels being concluded posthumously. So, everything is already concluded for him in a tidy manner. He will shuffle from this plane happy and with no regrets.
Either he can't admit it to himself and he's subliminally communicating that it's over, or he has developed a resentment for the fanbase after decades of (justified) complaints. Probably some of both, either way, it doesn't matter. It's over.
It's kino.
Arya isn't some badass unstoppable assassin in the books. Hell I don't even think she's a teenager yet.
The decision to not include timeskip as was originally intended between Storm of swords and Feast/Dance killed both the latter books and series as a whole. It is blatantly clear that a lot of character (Bran, Arya, Dany, Sam,...) need time to complete their training/age up. Insted we need 4 chapters for minor character to travel from one place to another.
On the plus side show shat the bed so hard that whatever we get will look like masterpiece in comparison
I liked how he pronounced Brienne and Petyr.
instant panty dropper when you bring a girl into your flat for the first time.
I give it another 2 years until it comes out
Based and pink Kindle pilled
>A STORM OF STORMS
show me on the doll where he's wrong tho
Depends on if you think like this guy, or if you understand the concept of a character drama.
Well there goes my hopes that he had winds done and wasn't gunna release it until he had a good part of ADOS finished as well. At this rate neither will come out. Not to mention getting another dunk and egg novel
