Do you guys think Wind of Winters is going to be released this summer?
>>25236163Yes, I do.
>>25236163Some summer. Maybe this one. Or the next one.
>>25236163Honestly I don't care.I get from the rawest bones of the TV show how the book was going to end. At this point it would be like rewatching a TV show I only kind of likes.
>>25236163No; if GRRM was even close to being done with it he would’ve announced it on his blog, which he hasn’t.
>>25236256More like bones so raw you can't even bite through, he's going to make sure TWOW and ADOS are drastically different from the godawful final seasons of show.
>>25236267I don't mean the basic beats I mean the overall shape.>Jon reborn>Bran ends up as king>Stannis loses>Dany chimps outEtc.I'm sure how he gets there will be different, and the planned ending hits way better with book context but I already know where we're going.
>>25236267The show writers demoralized him because they wanted to move on to bigger projectsThat gay final scene when they were all in a circle was probably going to be amazing in George's head and now it's cringe. The best thing he could do is turning the book into a tragedy, but then the fans would be upset about the vindictiveness. I can't see a way for him finishing it creatively.
>>25236256>I get from the rawest bones of the TV show how the book was going to end.We know from these "rawest bones" that Sansa and Jon would have some kind of conflict: likely, the Starks would start bloody infighting over their Winterfell inheritance.And that would be fucking amazing, if executed correctly.
