But Martin and Nabokov are solving the exact same problem. By pairing the exposition with the dramatic, you reduce the chances of losing the reader. 2. Pair the alien, separate the familiar. George R. R. Martin follows Nietzsche’s exhortation to use forbidden metaphors, “pairing the most alien things and separating the closest” (from On From the interviews that have been released, George R. R. Martin completed his contribution to the game about 2 years ago. I believe that Martin was contracted to write the world building and lore of the game when From Soft was still deep in development of Sekiro. Once Sekiro was done, From Soft took the world that Martin had built and started Martin, Rothfuss, and Scott Lynch (the Gentleman Bastards books) are the trilogy of authors with long-delayed fantasy sequels. Actually, I was getting bored by the last book or two in Martin's series, and don't even worry about whether Winds of Winter will ever come out.

It’s gonna be Martin, hands down, for me. I very much like Sanderson and Rothfuss. Sanderson excels at world building and designing “magic” systems. Rothfuss’ body of work is a bit scant for me to really consider, but I did enjoy his first two books. Nothing beats Game of Thrones at its best, though, for tension, depth of character, and

Martin could have started this off in a lot of ways, such as a physical description that waxes poetic about her physical features, especially her hair. He's certainly not shy about piling on visual detail elsewhere in the book. Instead Martin begins with her brother generally behaving like he's a creepy serial killer. Agree about book V of Games, & really, I don't see how or why Martin would take the trouble to finish the written series when HBO has done it for him. Maybe, maybe if the the rest of the story, in however many volumes, is already done & almost ready to go. Yes we loved Game of thrones, but he promised answers to literally hundreds of questions/mysteries in his book. With the belief that those mysteries would be solved, yes I love the series. But realizing the majority will never be solved, makes me hate it. Bad news for book fans hoping the next books will come out. To those still waiting for George RR Martin to finish his books. Martin has died many years ago. Every blog post, every "appearance" is fake. His publisher is merely keeping the idea of him being alive so that they can milk that Wings of Winter Wonder Land and A Dream of Springrolls cashcow. "Martin's" latest blog post is just another attempt The lawsuit cites specific ChatGPT searches for each author, such as one for Martin that alleges the program generated “an infringing, unauthorized and detailed outline for a prequel” to A Game of Thrones that was titled A Dawn of Direwolves and used “the same characters from Martin’s existing books in the series A Song of Ice and Fire”. I’ll buy The Winds of Winter when it comes out, if it ever does. But it won’t be because I “forgive,” Martin. It’ll be because I expect to enjoy reading it. That’s my only relationship with Martin: I’ll pay money for books in this series because I like them, not because he and I have some special trust relationship.
Eh. I suppose so. I've known of Martin longer than I've known of R.R. Martin, so I always think of the former first. I think I get it now though. Still people should read the article first before making comments.
George R.R. Martin says 3 animated 'Game of Thrones' spinoffs are in the works. Nobody gives a shit. Finish the damn books. Naw, I'm pumped for this. Will they be released twenty years apart from each other? Don’t do spin offs, just redo the whole fucking show in animation.

What is with this sub and trashing George rr Martin? Any character sounds 2d when described like that e.g. Walter white is just a suburban dad plagued by an unfulfilled desire for greatness. Joffrey isn't even 2d - and like you said he's probably the closest to an archetype we've seen. He wasn't born cruel like tolkiens characters are. He

Stephen King is mostly writing new books from scratch. George RR Martin is attempting to tie together all the lose threads across a massive series of books with a lot of characters. That's the difference between the two of them. Even Harry Potter only had a handful of moving parts compared to Game of Thrones. nkolWM.
