I’ve been waiting for 14 years. My best friend died waiting for the book to be released, and he was the only person I know who was as obsessed with the lore and the stories as I was. Any excitement I may have once had died with my best friend. As much as I’d like an actual conclusion from Martin, I suppose I’ll have to lower my standards and watch the television show for any sort of closure. No offence to the actors/actresses on the show, I am just not a television person.
