"I'd have them finished": Game of Thrones author George RR Martin says the one thing he'd change about A Song of Ice and Fire is the same thing we've wanted for 13 years

Us too, George, us too

Apologies for the slightly off-topic post…

It’s not looking good, folks…

George R R Martin confirms he hasn’t written anything for the 2 remaining A Song Of Ice And Fire books since 2022.

He wishes that they were finished.

The last published book in the series, A Dance With Dragons, was published in July 2011, now 13 years ago.

Obligatory song that’s now 12 years old… https://youtu.be/j7lp3RhzfgI

    Be honest, do you think he’s worked on them at all since the show started?

    He may have done a chapter, maybe two since then? That’s probably it, though.

    He has no intention of finishing, especially now that the show is done and people are left with negativity surrounding the ending. It’s the worst possible situation for him, because even if he wanted to finish the books there’s just no way he can do it.

    IMO, the best thing he can do is acknowledge this, and draw a line in it. Either hand it off to a protégé or writer friend that is happy to continue the story, or outright say that ASOIAF is done.

      Or just hire a ghost writer. Nobody needs to know and even if it comes out, nobody would care.
