Seeing that some character did not feature in the 4th book and only again in the 5th (same as some do not feature in the 5th and will only return in the 6th) was pretty strange. Seeing that there was well over a decade between books this must have been mighty annoying!<br /><br />I actually "fear" that he will never write any more books. There were excerpts from an interview with him that were published this week here in Germany. He said that in the next season some characters would die on the HBO show that were still alive in the books. Coupled with some other comments regarding the contract with HBO I would assume the story will only be driven forward on TV now. Strange choice for a writer who has at time complained that things are too different on TV from his vision.DHC Wargameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09088231415217189015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380748343241636073.post-87767530086572268362015-03-12T04:48:04.819-06:002015-03-12T04:48:04.819-06:00At times I think it is the better choice!At times I think it is the better choice!DHC Wargameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09088231415217189015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380748343241636073.post-42391712626027011322015-03-12T04:47:30.162-06:002015-03-12T04:47:30.162-06:00Will take a look at his books!

I also hate waiting around for the DVD's to be released, I refuse to pay for a premium channel just to watch one show.

I agree that the theme of The Songs of Ice and Fire is quite depressive. What I always hated as a reader was George killing some character off in a side note.DHC Wargameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09088231415217189015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380748343241636073.post-16493592264605951402015-03-10T05:06:48.266-06:002015-03-10T05:06:48.266-06:00Always liked Tyrion one of the few characters in t...Always liked Tyrion one of the few characters in the series with redeeming qualities. I dropped out of reading and watching the series some time again I think they are Genius but I want something a little more cheerful for my escapism.
