I recommended these books to my mother, and even lent her the first one. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure that was such a good idea.

I don't read comic books but it's heartening to know that grrm isn't the only writer who hates his fans. I only remember jubilee from the saturday morning cartoon but christ that sounds like some stupid poo poo.

Seriously. I remember her basically being Wolverine's shadow for a large part of the 90s. I remember one story in which she thinks she has caught Logan with Jean Grey at some shady motel, but it really was only Mystique.

IRQ posted:Compared to the other garbage going on it's not really that far fetched. I mean, Gorge made Tyrion suck and who knows what in the hell dumb poo poo he's going to do to have Jon come back (almost certainly some warging nonsense). And Arya can sew faces onto herself and whatnot. And Bran is a tree. And Rickon, I guess he's off eating Frey pie or something. When was the last time we saw him anyway?

No, it's not. The entire reason for the prologue is to tell us that Jon warged into Ghost when he died. Now, Melisandre might try and resurrect him, and what happens then'll be interesting. But we already know what happened to Jon.

I still maintain that if he warged at all right before flatlining, it's into Wun Wun rather than Ghost.

jazz babies posted:Ghost wasn't near him. I wouldn't consider anything concrete just yet. Erm, Arya'd been having dreams of wolftime without Nymeria being anywhere nearby. If we're to take that as Arya's sleeping mind hopping over into her, then warg doesn't know any distance. Sometimes magic is just poorly defined.

I actually have to commend GRRM for not going full bore and making Ramsay Bolton a vampire or some stupid poo poo, just to drive the "Vlad the Impaler" poo poo home.

I posted a little rant about Martin's progress with the books: http://loopingworld.com/2012/03/02/why-george-rr-martin-cant-finish-his-books/ What annoys me is that for some writers it's a privilege the possibility to commit and focus on one project. Martin has it, but doesn't much care about it.

Martin has "made it" in the sense that he's got to have a ton of money coming in, he's about in his Golden Years, is respected in his profession, and has made an undoubted mark on the cultural landscape. He's doing whatever the gently caress he wants because he can die in 3-15 years having not completed a drat word and still be living large. We should all be "so lucky."

Ratios and Tendency posted:Given how ADWD turned out it's not like it matters. I'm not slagging him off as much as most people on here because I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that all the shortcomings of A Feast With Dragons was due to the fact that it wasn't initially planned. If Winds is the same quality, then yeah, I'll stop caring about the series. Not that there will be a Winds, of course. We are now only a couple of months away from the one year anniversary of the last time GRRM wrote anything.

I thought Dance was better than Clash, easily. If it weren't because of the obvious deficiencies of Feast, it would be my least favorite of the series. Virtually nothing happens until the end and even then the battle of Blackwater isn't that interesting to me. Dance wasn't great, but there were enough neat little character moments and potentially interesting occurances to make me actually excited for Winds.

Clash was the most boring in the series for me; even Feast, for as "little" that happens, was interesting and involving due to the beautiful prose.
