I have come to accept that GRRM himself will not finish this book series. I think he has become burdened with the scale of how difficult it will be to end the series. I do hope we get to see a completed Winds and of course his own writing to finish the series, however this feels like a pipe dream at this point.
Most of all I hope the rest of the story has been outlined that another talented writer can take the reins to finish the series, as this seems the most likely option now.

Whatever man it’s only been like 96 months
the only end to this story anyone is ever going to get is the HBO series
Here’s hoping it’s Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, aka James S. A. Corey. They know him, and have the chops to get it done. I’d love for GRRM to get it done, I just don’t see how…. It’s math at this point, and GRRM is just moving too damn slow.
He’s waiting for GPT-5.
Haha that hurts so much. And still we have a long way to go… (probably eternal way to go)
Reading the entire song of Ice and Fire series in the mid2010s was the biggest waste of time in my life. Imagine all the better books I could have read!
He said he’s going to finish it soon Cmon. No need to remind him every six years, gall
I still have hope, even if finished by other authors, that the story will wrap up with a satisfying ending. Since the show didn’t follow the books (there were some significant differences), it should be clear that the ending they came up with sucked bad enough they’ll know what *not* to do in the books.
