Oh yeah it's way too late. The damage to ASOIAF has been done. I'd rather just let it die.

Book readers would probably disagree

I read them like 5 times, no lie. I loved those books. Seriously. I spent so much time on /r/asoiaf, I had thousands and thousands of karma from there. I was really, really into it.

At this point I'm fine with letting it be dead. There are other books to read.

Ah to each there own for me I'm going crazy not knowing 'his' ending tbh

[–] artichokecustard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

hotd really got me reinvested in the series, not for the asoiaf characters, but i just really want to know about the world more, i need to understand the magic more, what went down in valeria, and the children of the forest, stoneheart, the lore behind the wights and lord of light. other than davos, i could not care less what happens to these people and i never finished the hbo series, but i could only imagine that how they had me for davos something terrible must befall him but really i don't care to know that, but i know sanderson would be able to mop up all these tasty drippings for me and he'd be so caught up in enjoying his interpretation of the lore, that he'd forget to condense it, and i'm totally here for that

I read the books, and after the show I've lost all interest. the two final books could miraculously come out today and I wouldn't care in the slightest.

Nah, I read the books as they came out, loved them, went to book signings and everything. I waited furiously for him to finish the next one, and finally gave up on him years ago after he released some sample chapters, went silent, and then started getting nasty with anyone who asked him when he would be done. He’s not going to finish the series, and that’s fine, but I wish he would respect his fans and be honest about it. I genuinely don’t care about his characters anymore. Plenty of other better books to read.
