The GOT books are hugely over rated. The first couple are fucking great. Then he killed off all his best characters and we got looooooong novels about people you barely care about
Could say exactly the same about a famous sci fi franchise I quite like. At least a lot of them lived a pretty long life.

I'd listen to her though.. Watch something new together.I think you'd all agree there's not a huge amount to choose from that remotely matched the quality of shows about 5 or so years ago. COVID is only gonna make this worse in the short term.

Killing off main characters are what makes it so GOT though. Can’t take any of them for granted.
He does over complicate the stories though, way too many sub plots and extra characters. The Frog, Penny, Old Griff.
Rather creepy how young they all were too. -

He lives in Auckland. It takes him half a day to travel one suburb over.
I for one applaud his ingenuity and time management.

I read the books previously but then decided to give them via Audible a go. Just finished Dance of Dragons a few weeks ago. Best part of a year to get through them. You appreciate how much the TV show differed from the books. The show did plenty right but got plenty wrong as well. Dorne, The Greyjoys (Euron especially) were poorly done.
Have since started (and nearing the end) listening to Fire and Blood. The whole Targaryen history of Aegons Conquest onwards.
This being the basis of the next GOT show on HBO i believe.Some brutal shit went down, having just gone through the Dance of the Dragons chapters, which was basically a Targaryen civil war. 2 sides fighting for the succession of the throne.
I fear we will never get to see ASOIAF completed by George. By all accounts he hasnt even started book 7 yet. And here we are awaiting on book 6 which has had its completion date pushed out by years.
He needs to do a George Lucas before it’s too late.
Being fat and old doesn’t help his cause
Thank fuck we have Brandon Sanderson!
