I’m sure if Martin doesn’t finish the series then they will have another author take it up. That ended up being a good thing with the wheel of time series. Robert Jordan just kept creating new pointless threads that didn’t progress his story. After he passed they gave it to Brandon Sanderson who then finished the series with the 3 best books in the series.... still, I kinda doubt it will come to that. Martin will finish it eventually. He just isn’t a very productive writer, never has been. All his books are like 5-7 years apart... |
What you said about Robert Jordan is true, but at least he kept the ball going, even if the pace of the books was slowing so much that it literally moved backward in time in book 10. I'm not particularly a fan of his works, but at least he delivered the sense the series were all along moving to a grand ending and demanded of himself to finish it with A Memory of Light.
About Martin, we'll see. Though the whole D&D shenaningans has left me feeling cold (hah) about the series, including the books.
