George R.R. Martin will never ever finish his story.
Originally, as per his leaked outline, this was planned as a trilogy dealing with 1) the war of the five kings, and a five year time gap 2) the dothraki invasion of Westeros and 3) the threat of the others. A full generation after the first book released, we're 33% through his intended history. 50%, if you are willing to consider AFFC and ADWD, the two books that have filled the space of the time gap, as an arc on their own.
Meanwhile we've had:
- All Harry Potter books released
- Two Star Wars trilogies
- The LOTR and the Hobbit movie trilogies
- The whole Malazan Book of the Fallen series released, for comparison's sake
So... yeah. Not happening.
This is very frustrating and somewhat disrespectful with his audience, if you want to know what I think. People bought these books on the premise there would be a conclusion to it. How many would buy it otherwise? I wouldn't go as far as calling it fraud, but people were absolutely not making a high-risk investment on an author who clearly don't know how to disentangle the convoluted mess he created himself.
No, we'll have to make do with D&D's dumb interpretation and ending I'm afraid.
