I don't know why he bothers.

S8 made all interest in GoT drop, to the point where nobody talks about it anymore. A small fraction of the fans were book readers, and even they don't care about this anymore.

He's going to release this and A Dream of Spring for 3 people to read.

If he doesn't decide there's so much left that he needs 8 total instead.

He will NEVER finish the series. Just accept it. He should have let Sanderson complete it already, it's sad that he is still playing this tip toe game

Don't forget he has to leave out any actual conclusions to story arcs to get more pages of someone shitting themselves.

Fuck, A Dance with Dragons was trash.

I mean, game of thrones was literally an adaption of an unfinished book series that made a deliberate choice to have less episodes and up the pace, they weren't running out of time or rushed for any reason other than they chose to do so. But after a decade, the criticism isn't "hurry and finish we don't care if it sucks", it's that he clearly isn't interested in finishing the book series at all and all we will have is the shitty tv ending.

Hes never going to finish it. He wrote himself in a corner and he has no financial incentive to work on it with how much he made off GoT and now possibly new series.

Holy shit, I thought you were joking by coming up with some absurd statement about how slow progress has been on this book. Then I looked it up.

Regardless, as someone that knows next to nothing about the books or TV series, I don't see why he doesn't just cancel the last book in the series and make WoW a bit longer to give proper conclusions to all the story threads. It's not like he's incapable of brevity; I read Nightflyers and didn't find it to be a slog at all.

Brandon Sanderson is gonna finish this series after he dies 15 years from now or whatever. We all know this. He knows it, we know it, everyone knows it. George RR Martin is content to watch tv all day or whatever and count his HBO stacks until he dies. There's no writing being done lol.

Does Martin have any family/estate? Who would stop his editors or publishers from giving the reigns to another author to finish up?

tbf there's a huge difference between "rushed out in a year because they were offered a Star Wars deal" and "No progress on this book in 10 years". People can want something in the middle.
