[QUOTE="Ralif Redhammer, post: 9513463, member: 30438"] It really is a big IF. GRRM has talked about how when the series is done, no one will care about how long it took. However, if it's never finished, people will certainly care in the long run. I think eventually we'll see the Winds of Winter. A Dream of Spring, pffft, not a chance. Likewise, I love when RPGs give you their inspirations. I've discovered so many hidden gems that way. In a lot of ways, it shows how deeply personal RPG creation can be. How much gets distilled into a single game from books and other media. No, it wasn't. I remember being shocked that he was expanding the narrative even further when he should've been tightening it. See, I don't know about that. I was a huge fan of ASOIAF, read the books multiple times and everything. Yet when I read Fire & Blood, it didn't hit the same for me. I'm off grimdark in general, but reading three different acts of violence against women in two pages struck a sour note for me. Will I pick up Winds of Winter when it comes out? Probably. But yeah, A Dream of Spring isn't happening. I half expect him to divide one of the two remaining books into two, anyway. [/QUOTE]
