A Feast for Crows Update.

Oh yeah, I should have known that. Oh well, I can handle that. I guess it is too ealry to bust out the books for a reread. Although I love the reread casue I don't have to read any chapters with Daeny or whatever hew name is.

I love the books so far, but five (going on six) years between entries in a series is unacceptable.

And I would wager that there is a good likelihood we'll be looking at a similar gap to the follow-up to Feast. I hate to say it, but I'm regretting picking up this series. I might just ditch it until the last book is out, but I doubt I could hold out that long... Can you imagine what decade that will be?

Thank goodness Steven Erikson is on a (comparatively) decent release schedule, and thank goodness for Amazon Canada!

I'm 29.

I figure I can pick up the last book when I retire.

Feast has been taking so long because halfway through writing Dance with Dragons, Martin realized that he was glossing over too much material and had to go back and write Feast. Sure, you could say that this represented a lack of planning on Martin's part (I'd probably agree), but the other two books came out within reasonable amounts of time of each other.

I hope that Feast is just a fluke.

and in theory since Dancing with Dragons was "half-written" a lot of that can just be reworked as opposed to rewritten from scratch.

or so we hope.

One problem with that hope is this. Georgie needs six years to write a book between books, he already has the beginning and the end and the fact that he feels he glosses over facts seems to suggest that the main part of the story was already thought up. Dancing with dragons however is only half finished, he probably got the beginning, and some of the main story line but nothing else. Thus I predict that it wil take him more than a decade to write an ending to that book. I only hope that DwD will be the final chapter.

That's a negative. Martin has stated several times that he is trying to keep the series to six book books, but it may spill into seven. Book six is titled The Winds of Winter. Book seven, should it be necessary, will be A Time for Wolves.

Where were these titles announced? I know that he was always targeting 6 books, with a possibility of 7, but this is the first I've heard anything about the titles of the remaining books.

 

[Allanon]

Six possibly seven books... As long as G.R.R.M. doesn't decide to go all 'Wheel of Boring Time' on us I can live with that. Unless he decides that since one should/cannot rush art he can take 6 years per book for the remaining titles. In that case I would be 40 when he finishes the series .

 

[Particle_Man]

While it is a problem for us, once the books are published it won't be a problem for newer readers. So I will "think 4 dimensionally", wait, and judge the books on their own merits.

I am more worried that Martin might die before he finishes.
