There is a game of thrones.
While I will not believe George RR Martin's Winds of Winter will be finished until I am physically holding it in my hands, the author has returned to his famous blog to talk about the book, and its relationship to Game of Throne itself.
Martin talks about how he evolved his stories over time and how he is moving away from what was shot for the show.
My gardening is taking me away from the television series. The WINDS OF WINTER will have some of the things you saw on Game of Throne, but not in the same way.
On September 17, 2016 in West Hollywood, California, George R. R. Martin attended a tea party. Kevork Djansezian is the photographer for BAFTA LA.
He talks about the fact that he has many different character perspectives that were not heavily featured in the show. Despite fans waiting years for her to appear, Lady Stoneheart never showed up on the show.
The novels are larger and more complex than the series. There are certain things that won't happen in the book. Likewise. The major characters who were on the show were never seen in the books. I have a lot of secondary characters that are important to the plot and not POVs. The characters in the show are not the same as the ones in the novels. Euron Greyjoy is very different from me. Quaithe still has something to contribute. Rickon Stark also does. Poor Jeyne. The list is lengthy. WINDS is taking so long due to all this. This is difficult.
There is a game of thrones.
He says that even though a character survived until the end of Game of thrones, it doesn't mean they will survive A Song of ice and fire. A Song of Ice and Fire won't kill them because a character died in the post books episodes.
That may be enough to give fans hope that some big characters may be saved, such as the ones who met their fate together on the show. It opens the door for the show characters to die in the books.
Martin says that the shows are not predictors of the books and that we should not expect the same thing to happen again. We might end up in a different place because he is constantly changing his mind about things. Maybe in the year 2045, when this book is done.
