Red Ronnet (yum) Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Which of the two books would you rather see come out first? Both are really exciting prospects to me, but I think I would be one of the (expected) minority to say Fire and Blood. I really loved the layout of TWOIAF and I would love to read more like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reynestorm Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Winds, of course. EDIT: That being said, if George just stopped writing all together right this second, we would at least be able to see Winds to an extent in GOT. Fire and Blood we would never be able to see in any form, the closest being TWOIAF. Still, I say Winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamnDirtyApe Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 What's Fire and Blood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reynestorm Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 What's Fire and Blood? Pretty much an even more detailed TWOIAF, solely written by GRRM http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Fire_and_Blood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHouseHB Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Winds... Because Fire and Blood might be a little too spoilery to come out even before Dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry the Hair Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Not even a close call; Winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assjfjgjsgjljljglgjfjsduar Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Winds and it isn't even close. Even if I was into the whole Targ Ubermensch BS, I'd still say Winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGimletEye Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Winds and it isn't even close. Even if I was into the whole Targ Ubermensch BS, I'd still say Winds. Be a smarty. Come and join the Targaryen Party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eiko Dragonhorn Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 GRRM has said Fire and Blood will be after the rest are complete so I'm gonna go with Winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 TWoW without doubt. I'm not particularly interested in Targaryen history anyway. I would only consider purchasing Fire and Blood if/when the main series is completed. I recall Martin mentioning on NAB that Fire and Blood will not be out for many years since he needs to complete TWoW, ADoS and the next installment of D&E first.

I would rather have D&E before F&B too. I'm sure GRRM has interesting stuff to include, but "blood of the dragon sibling-fucker #458" is just not high on my list of narrative priorities.

Faint Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I take it that Fire and Blood will have quite a bit of material on Jon and Daenerys that would necessarily spoil what is to come in The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. Regardless of that point though, I would still much rather read The Winds of Winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtherSnow Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 My wish is for GRRM to complete The Winds Of Winter before we get to any other book. My feeling is he'll give us the final parts to Dunk and Egg as there are lessons to learn from that story. However, GRRM works in mysterious ways.There must be so much going on in his head he's got to feel like it's gonna explode. And there is one reason why he takes time out. He loves to meet fans who can't wait to meet him, which is another reason for a time out. One solution for TWoW is for GRRM to invite co-writers to come on board, and, clearly with A Dream Of Srping to follow. I hope that doesn't have another long, long wait for its delivery. Using co-writers, probably more to bounce his ideas off, has proven to work. Who doesn't think the recently released book is wonderful? I like its angle too, being written by a maester for Tommen.Hmmm? A thought.On the show, D&D seem to be using a similar approach. It makes sense with new characters they add, and some they change. Theirs is an alternate take on events in the published books. Wasn't it stated somewhere - other than they correctly answered a question GRRM asked - they've got a rough cut of where the stories go, like a general outline GRRM uses? What if all they're doing is using this 'maester's eye view' of events? That sure makes sense and explains a lot.I treat the book and the show as separate entities, mainly on the general idea that book adaptations, however faithful, still can't handle complete books. I'm going with this 'maester's eye view' from here on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronn Urgandy Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Winds is the storyline I am invested in now. TWOIAF and FAB (hurhur fab) are world builders about stuff thats already happened in world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
