      Here’s an another uncomfortable statistic: most of ASOIAF was published before 9/11.

      Personally I gave up after AFFC, which I read around a decade ago. The quality of writing had plummeted, and it was increasingly obvious the series is going to take way too long to be finished.

      The guy should just give up, relive himself of the duty and the audiences of the frustration, and spend his remaining years peacefully writing Dunk and Egg stories.

    The real infuriating thing in this picture is the order of the books.

    Putting them out 1, 2, 5, 4, 3 should be an actual crime. Like, straight to jail.

    It is interesting to see the growth from generic fantasy book to international best seller and cultural phenomenon.

    I mean, given the glacial pace of writing, you can’t fault the printers that still has to use a Gutenberg press for their book looking different. 😅
