[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9513429, member: 18"] True but I think that's more down to decline in quality and frankly messy storytelling rather than a tonal mismatch with the era it was published in. House of the Dragon, which is anything is meaner-spirited than most of GoT seems to be doing fine despite some very clumsy storytelling. And indeed Max seem to be trying to make several more GoT prequels/sequels happen at any given moment (Dunk and Egg is fairly far along). I don't think the tropes will be the problem - ASoIaF has a huge audience, and they'll be 15 years older, but they're not suddenly going to find tropes unacceptable that they thought were cool before. I think if WoW has a poor reception, 15+ years of hype (because honestly I don't expect it before 2026 at the absolute outside) and GRRM just bringing in a million more side-characters no-one gives a shake of a lamb's tail about, but who take up chapter after chapter will be the major negatives. That and WoW isn't even supposed to be the last one, goddamit. [/QUOTE]
