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

    I love Sanderson, he is my favorite fantasy author, and you are correct about his marvelous job finishing WoT, but he is just not the right fit tonally for ASOIAF. He doesn’t even write swear words, and GRRM’s books are fairly liberal with the fucks and the cunts. I would however be in favor of Joe Abercrombie or someone with a bit of a darker bent to their writing taking over if needed.

      Kelek’s breath, man. He swears all the storming time.

        Just add more women - polygamy was all the rage in Mormonism back in the day.

      Abercrombie would be a great fit. Another good one would be Ed McDonald

      On the other hand, if you let Sanderson do it we would have the whole series finished and published within 18 months of GRRM passing it on.

      People are going to gnash their teeth and rend their garments over those books no matter what.
