Yeah, and maybe consider a sequel once the rest of the books came out.
I started reading the series around 2002, when there were 3 books. Martin released book 4 in 2005. In the afterward of the book he said that book 6 was basically already done… book 6 didn’t come out for 6 more years (2011).
It’s been 12 years. We're waiting on book 7. Given his age, it doesn’t seem like the series will be finished by Martin. Hopefully he actually does know what happens through the rest of the story and has it down for whoever takes up the mantle.
I think he stopped because the show gave us his ending and he knows everyone hates it.
GRRM is a cautionary tale, I'll never pick up a series before it ends again
74 isn't that old. You're certainly not a spring chicken but you're not knocking on deaths door. He does have a little extra weight though.
I think the production team was fully aware that those books weren't getting finished.
The actors would have aged way more than their characters at that point. Especially the kids and the very old characters.
Oh. That makes sense. Damn, wrong timing I guess.
