The way G.R.R.M. writes is very enticing.

it's a product of his time writing television scripts and pilots in the 80s. each chapter is almost like a scene, and they are structured mostly to end on a point of intrigue or interest that makes you want to stay through the "commercial break" as it were and find out what happens next. always leave the reader wanting more. it is indeed a very effective way of keeping a reader invested.


I wish more writers did this. Stephen King is good at this technique. Thanks for explaining!
