So, here's my theory: HBO doesn't believe that GURM is capable of finishing a treatment for another show or whatever it is they've saddled him with. The only reason they offered him more work is to interfere with his already non-existent writing. Because they want to finish the show before the books are even remotely done and keep creative control over everything, instead of bowing to his, increasingly more complex and meaningless, canon. And another thing: it's good they're trimming characters, merging plots and so on. The Fucker should've drawn the line at Jon, Kelly C, max 2 of the Stark children and the three Lannister siblings. And that's it. Everything else is superfluous, if you want to finish the series in 6-7 books tops, or even at all. Stannis, Sam's adventures in Oldtown, Aegon, Dorne, are all completely unnecessary crap weighing down the plot.

MrSlam posted:I like Tyrion and want to see him rule a city again and everything, but putting him in charge of Mereen is dumb. No one in Essos can vouch for this tiny drunk guy except for Illyrio who has nothing to do with anything at this point. Nobody in her entourage even cares if she makes it to Westeros but Jorah and he's banished, so why on earth would anyone care what the new guy has to say? Especially when he's apparently the son of the guy that betrayed her father. I hope the show givest Tyrion the Quentin treatment and burns him to cinder. At least the new trailer hints at that. (There will be no more books)

If you're looking for things to read while waiting for the next book to come out (2050), why not check out Enrique Vila-Matas' Bartleby&co. It's a postmodernist novel about writers that refuse to write.

Groovelord Neato posted:i didn't really mean "no magic" i just mean "magic doesn't displace the actual interesting parts like it does in game of thrones and is not used as a central plot device because it's lazy as gently caress writing". Pretty much everything Guy Gavriel Kay ever wrote. Maybe skip Tigana, because it's the most "magical" of his works, but The Lions Of Al Rassan and The Sarantine Mosaic should fit your request.

The show is not supposed to respect anyone's intelligence. It's supposed to be comprehensible to a somewhat interested viewer who's dicking on his phone at the same time.

MrSlam posted:I think they set him up with it so they could write him off. They probably gave it to him so he'd sacrifice himself for love but there wasn't a good opportunity for such a big character death. Kill off all the side characters you want but you have to make a big deal for the Season 1 Episode 1 characters. Yes! The Faceless Men get his face, Arya wears it and kills Daenerys. If that's how that poo poo works, I dunno.

Pls don't read Sanderson if you like GRRM for the usual reasons. Read Bakker instead, it's the only thing that makes sense IMO. Reading Sanderson is like drinking alcohol-free hand sanitizer.

TequilaJesus posted:Eh. I appreciate a fantasy author who doesn't do sex scenes. Fantasy authors are generally the type of people who should not be discussing sex, period. You get weirdo rape fantasies like GRRM. I'm not even griping about the lack of sex scenes. His writing style is rather bland, the characters indistinguishable and his worlds lack a certain brutality I like in GRRM's and Bakker's works. Even Robert Jordan made his bad guys discomforting and creepy enough to make them feel like a real threat, unlike Sanderson. (Opinion based on Mistborn and Way of the Kings)

Or just the end of a trilogy. Another 500 pages doesn't seem enough to do it justice. AFAIK one more book in this quadrology + final trilogy to come.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:So what's the deadline that GRRM needs to miss to ensure that it becomes impossible for the next book to be out before season 7? Considering time for editing, revising, printing and shipping he would probably need to submit a first draft around now right? They did it in less than three months after the manuscript was submitted last time. There will be no first draft because GRRM don't care about editors and other petty poo poo.

TOR is doing a "Read along" for some of his early hit books It's Wild Cards so no thanks, but I read Armageddon Rag a couple of years ago and it was fun. Got my hands on Fevre Dream recently and will definitely read it soon.

Number Ten Cocks posted:It's not by any normal definition. And yet all Persians were legally property of the Emperor but some weren't slaves? Also, you can keep a slave even if it's illegal to do so. I remember a case concerning a group of soccer ultras in my country called The Myrmidons who kept several people as slaves in a beach hut and forced them to work without pay, under threat of violence. Those people were slaves no matter their legal status.
