Cheese Pudding Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I have the same feeling. GRRM used Feast and Dance to set the stage to Winds of Winter and Dream of Spring. It will be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelad Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I haven't waited as long as everyone else had, because I'm new to this series. However if you think about it this way we are on book 2 with the TV series so in 3 years the TV series will be out of material. They have to have time to film so I would say no later than end of 2013 so that HBO can get it filmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristophUL Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I could not agree more! Although I think Winter will bring doom to many characters I am very excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houseHB Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I hope as the first POV introduced in Winds the name that appears at the top is Dark Star HaHaHa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall Tyrion Lannister! Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I just hope I'm right with the major events that happen. last book I was 0 for 2 with my prediction of the wall falling and Dany getting to westeros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxpey Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 If GRRM is planning on finishing the saga in 2 books, I have a feeling he will have to have a mass extinction of POV characters in the first half of TWOW. GRRM would then devote the last half of TWOW to setting up the surviving POV characters for ADOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stannis the Stern Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Mofo better not take the piss releasing TWOW this time, three years seems a bit too long as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Gathers Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Well, at least GRRM now has a deadline (6 years). He can't expand the series to 20 books which each take 10 years to write anymore.I'm dreading the answer but, 6 years for TWOW only or the entire series?

Stark@heart Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Waiting is soooo hard.I starting reading the series when I saw season 1 promo, just in time for Dance release so now I'm dying - and so are most of my favs in the next two books. That's what makes it so hard. Martin gives us so much to speculate with but above all we know that no one is safe in this series, so I'm also afraid to read what actually happens next.

Lady Hodor Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'd have to agree with ChristophUL, as much as I am excited about it coming out, I'm terrified Martin will kill Arya or Tyrion! Please Don't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Wun Wun Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 The first part of it should definitely be pretty good, resolving all those damn battles he set up with ADWD. The battle of Meereen (who doesn't want to see that place wrecked), the battle of winterfell and the battle of Storm's End. That should all have an ASOS style pace and feel to it.

Siziel Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 ADWD was so much a preparation book that the next one is obviously going to be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grail King Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'm dreading the answer but, 6 years for TWOW only or the entire series?Can't find the link but GRRM stated he has to have the next book out in 5 years, my guess is it as part of the HBO contract if so we are talking about ~2015ETA: spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Ali Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 GRRM doesn't have a deadline. He could (and I believe he had) tell the producers of the show the main plot points, so there's no need to match it with the show. Plus they have split ASoS into two seasons, and they can make 3 seasons out of ADwD and AFfC (combined). GRRM said he's determined to not let the series overtake him, but you know, it might, because he's just determined, nothing more. There's also another thing: whenever there is a deadline he just finish stuff a little after the deadline.I believe that GRRM will not finish The series in 7 books, just as he didn't in one or even two trilogy. Unless TWoW and ADoS are more than 2000 pages each.I have a terrifying thought as well: GRRM announcing that he's not gonna finish the series at all. In any moment he can announce that he's just retired and wanna spend his time with his wife and just relax, travel and enjoy. You know, that's his right, and we can't stop him from that.All this said, I am waiting for TWoW like hell, and I'm most worried about Arya. If GRRM kills her I will piss on the book and burn it, no matter how awesome the book is, I took a vow to do so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likes writing and doesn't want to settle down. At least not when he responded in the interviews. So my hopes are not yet gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Martell Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I haven't waited as long as everyone else had, because I'm new to this series.

They have to have time to film so I would say no later than end of 2013 so that HBO can get it filmed.There are easily five seasons of material left in these books. Two seasons for aSoS and 3 for aFfC and aDwD total. As much as we like to think "nothing happens in those books" when being overly critical, looking at them shows that not to be the case. More happens in each that A Clash of Kings, which HBO did in one season... barely. George has until 2017 to get TWOW out without being overtaken.

Volderon Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Honestly, if AFFC and ADWD is split into even TWO seasons, the shows not going to get renewed, nothing really happens thats terribly exciting for a tv show. They can get away with it in the books but all the world building that takes place in the books covers 15 seconds in tv.But they can do a prequel season though...

geogus Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 The book will be amazing, but I believe it will only be a preparation for the big final, all characters will be on their posizions at the end and we will wait for the next bookIm brazilian and in Brazil we have great soap operas, watched in lots of countries.Here normally the best episode is the penultimate, and not the last.Its is in the penultimate eiposde that all the conflicts are solvedIf its the same with the GRRM books, we will have an amazing WoW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
