I made my peace with the fact that Winds of Winter will never come out... It only hurts a little these days π
It's like allergies... I forget about them, then a few times a year, I get irritated.
Yup. You regret all the time and energy that was invested in series that never will have a satisfying end.
I just envision Mr. Martin as a cherubic genie, that on his deathbed, he pulls a PSSSSYYYYYYYYYYYCH! and drops the motherload.
Still haven't started actually reading ASoIaF, despite being a big fan and having already read tons of snippets from the books (thank AltShiftX for peaking my curiosity). Maybe this summer I will pick up AGOT.
The books are great and the show was great up until a point. One is an unfinished masterpiece, the other started as a masterpiece and ended like a sitcom designed by committee.
Aww, the first is quite unfortunate... The latter though, seems to be a more common fate nowadays...
Have you read any of Joe Abercrombie? I think a lot of people that enjoy ASoIaF do or would really enjoy his work, and heβs actually still releasing books.
Never heard of him, I believe. Will check his books out, thank you for the recommendation!
If you havenβt read it, try Wheel of Time. I canβt recommend it enough. Ignore the disgraceful Amazon show.
I've heard of it (and its incredible show xP) but never read anything. Will put it on my list for this summer.
Robert Jordan and dying before finishing your 14 book epic?
Kanye and The Jesus Complex.
