    You do have to consider that the two unwritten books have the capability of affecting the previous books. Its hard to say that its a great series at this point in time, at least in my opinion. It definitely could be, I’m hoping someone with a better work ethic will take over when GRRM passes on.

      They only have such a chance if they are every written, and I doubt they will be

        Would you say its great if it ends as is? I’d have to look it up but they were in the middle of it from what I recall.

        I suppose that would leave the tv shows ending to stand as the official-ish ending though wouldnt it?

          There are numerous fanfic versions of the GoT show that are far better at including forgotten characters, plots, and tying up loose ends. My conclusion is that D and D had seen them all beforehand as things progressed and refused to bow to fans, so they got cornered into making bad choices. This isn’t necessarily valid, just my way of rationalizing away that they were just probably bad writers, period. They started off strong using someone else’s work, they should have finished it doing the same (just a different source).

            Yeah I might have to read some of the fanfic endings one of these days, might be a good bit of closure on the story.

          I would love it if the books were written, there are several things I want to see resolved
