I haven’t really sat down to read any novels in a very long time.
I can sort of remember collection some graphic novels and odd things and a vampire series and tried to keep up with Sarah J Maas books but could t keep up with everything.
I did read George RR Martin but hit a wall when I caught up with his writing of Game of Thrones and had to wait for him to finish the last few books.
Only thing I’d probably want to chase up is The Death Gate cycle by Weis and Hickman since I’ve always wanted to read them and I quite enjoyed the Dragonlance books by them.
I think the entire reading public is cheesed off with GRRM for not finishing ASOIAF. Who knows? We might get the next instalment sometime in the next 20 years ....
I didn’t keep up because it took so long.
I haven’t even seen the series show. Are you serious in that he never finished writing the books?
Completely. The latest instalment is still A Dance with Dragons - published in 2011. Still waiting for the next one ... Two more projected - The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. As the bloke is now 76, we are all hoping he does not run out of life before finishing the series.
