Frey family reunion Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 On 8/14/2019 at 7:43 PM, Lord Varys said: George made a great work out of his story once he started it - but the basic setting and setup of his story is actually very derivatory. George's own input often revolves around polishing or changing the original setup, not so much about coming up with truly original ideas or themes. There are elements in ASOIAF that GRRM has been writing about since his earliest science fiction work in the 70's, the most obvious being the collective consciousness of the weirnet.

trazayn Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 In The Witcher III video game there is a religion similar to R'Hollor (The Eternal Fire), there's Wargs, there's a great war for power that tears the country asunder. Gosh these fantasy writers do get around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we have to wait and see how the weirwood thing turns out. But it rather obvious how much of his own work and ideas he reuses in ASoIaF.
