A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin has said he's written 1,100 pages of next book The Winds of Winter, the same amount he'd written as of December 2022, while also revealing there are eight Game of Thrones spin-off shows being worked on.
Which dissuades me from ever reading the series, unfortunately.
I started reading the series when I was 18yo, I’m 38 now. The wating between AFFC and ADWD was nothing compared to this.
I’m a middle age man now and I dont really care if he ever get to finish the series or not, life goes on
