George RR Martin have been a great inspiration for me, along with Tolkien and Brandon Sandersson, even though they write different types of books. Right now I am reading a really good book called The Briar King by Greg Keyes. If anyone enjoyes George RR than Keyes is up your alley!
There's a series of books by Maurice Druon that take place during the War of the Roses - GRRM talks a little about the series's influence on GoT in the introduction of the first one. Pretty cool if you want to dig deeper into the War of the Roses influences.
George Martin lost interest in finishing it, Benioff and Weiss lost interest in producing it, so they made a horrible rush job ending and dumped it. The creative end abandoned it, so why do the fans still care? Time to admit that no one on that end gives a fig for what you think. It should be obvious by now. 1.
People give George R.R. Martin grief for the delay of "The Winds of Winter," but imagine trying to write a continuation of your series after HBO already wrote their own ending to it George R.R. Martin takes a lot of heat for the delay of "The Winds of Winter," the planned next book in the "Game of Thrones" series, but honestly I totally get
Every author including Martin himself read hundreds and hundreds of books before writing their own. Many writing styles, plot points, concepts like dragons, are drawn from things they read from other books. If chatgdp trains on data, it can simply use it like how we read books in school, or how English majors study famous works. This book also actually passed the USSR censors and was officially published in 1962, unlike Archipelago which circulated in samizdat (illegal underground distribution) for many many years. It was the first book legally published in the USSR that described the horrors of the forced labor camps.
My all time favorite is Tolkien, books I've read several times. Some classic fantasy that he missed: E.R.Eddisons The Worm Ouroboros, Evangeline Waltons Mabinogion, Poul Andersons The Broken Sword and Three Hearts & Three Lions. 597 votes, 135 comments. 23M subscribers in the books community.
Bit of an odd question, but I've been hoping to put together a somewhat uniform collection of Martin's pre-ASOIAF books and so far I've found Tuf Voyaging and Windhaven, and just purchased copies of The Armageddon Rag and Dreamsongs Vol 1 all in the livery that basically seems to be in the same style as the Ice and Fire series. George R.R. Martin isn't sure The Winds of Winter will be out by March of 2025 During the interview, which was excerpted on Reddit , Clare mentions that she has a book — The Ragpicker King mAw9C.
