I made my peace with the fact that Winds of Winter will never come out... It only hurts a little these days πŸ˜…

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.

Robert Jordan and dying before finishing your 14 book epic?

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.

[–] tmpod@lemmy.pt 1 points 1 year ago

Aww, the first is quite unfortunate... The latter though, seems to be a more common fate nowadays...

If you haven’t read it, try Wheel of Time. I can’t recommend it enough. Ignore the disgraceful Amazon show.
