    The only reason GRRM has taken so long is because he's had to rewrite the entirety of Winds once he decided to draw more attention to the Mecha Football Game the series will end with.

    Ok I watched the whole video now. God this was long. I spend way too much time and energy on this but the bottom line of all the speculation is "Well maybe! But also maybe not!" We thought he was surely going to announce the book was done in 2021 and then he said "I still have a long way to go". Ertac Altinoz has been hinting about the book being released in November 2024, but we dunno if it's a prank or his source is wrong or anything like that. George hasn't said anything about the progress of the book since October 2022, so maybe he's almost done and wants to just say nothing until he's done and he's almost done, or maybe he's had a hard time and been rewriting for all of 2023 and half of 2024 and he hasn't made much progress. Maybe him giving an "update" to the Burlington Bar was that he was almost done, or maybe it was he was at like 1200 pages or something. Maybe he's going to announce the book is done at the end of the HotD season or at Worldcon, or maybe he'll announce at worldcon he "still has a long way to go". Maybe he's going to announce it on his notablog and "Words of Wisdom" is a hint, or maybe it's random coincidence. Maybe Javi Marcos was right and Penguin Randomhouse Spain buying the rights to the ASOIAF series from Gilgamesh was indicitive that they had an internal release date soon, or maybe that was just wrong. Every last thing isn't definitive, the only thing would be George giving an update of some kind, and he hasn't. So... we wait. And we hope that someday the long night will end.
    That said, the book is coming out November 12th 2024 you heard it in this youtube comment first.

      @InterestingNerdClub While I think he has the idea of the ending of the series is (ironically george is great at writing, in particular, twist endings in his Sci fi works), I have always liked the idea that the book literature wise contains a finnegans wake style quirk. The first line of the entire series is "we should start back" and there are some clear time travel themes if nothing else. I think there will be a meta narrative pay off in some way that would be very hard to adequately construct.

  • @GiordanoBruno42
    @GiordanoBruno42 12 днів тому +28

    I think george has had to hybridise his writing style, becoming an architect-gardener capable of completing the hanging gardens of Babylon.
    It makes sense that he would work on the outline of dream of spring concurrently with winds, at least once winds was nearly finished.
    How else could he make sure he wasnt making mistakes with winds that would make dream impossible to write.
    That way he could go back to winds and make the changes he needed for the purpose of making dream work.
    I also find you guys' rewrite theory very plausible

    • @InterestingNerdClub

    • @peterusmc20
      @peterusmc20 11 днів тому +2

      @GiordanoBruno42 not necessarily an optimistic point of view but like the boys discussed there's evidence he Sat down with editors and realised it didn't work. It might not have just been that book that didn't work but he realised that this story wouldn't lead to the ending he wanted or that they decided to make changes to the ending either after the show or just after giving it more thought or criticism. Maybe he watched some Preston Jacobs and decided that there should be a dornish master plan.
      That would make a lot of sense to me as a factor in any rewrites or delays in the book releasing. It's a hard story to get right. I think especially with so long to wait and theorise and mythologise I think a dream of spring might be among the hardest books to satisfactorily bring to an audience in history.

      The Hobbit: Legendary Edition (by Wraith), The Hobbit: The Spence Edit (by Spence), The Hobbit: Book Edit (by M4_) and The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Edits (by Stromboli Bones) are the most notable, popular and seemingly the best edits of the trilogy, at least as far as adapting the trilogy into one singular film goes.

    19:15 This was the first change in Game of Thrones that really rubbed me the wrong way. In season 4, Jon's plan to kill the mutineers made no sense at all. By the time Jon would have gotten to Craster's keep, it would have already been raided by the wildlings or the wildlings would have already passed by it on their way to the wall. The show spent 3 episodes on that stupid waste of time.

    Dany is a character I see really suffering from the five year gap, although this idea could theoretically work as is. I know her being in the dothraki sea is at the end of dance, but I think that's more a function of how the books ended up being organized rather than a matter of chronology being in the way of George's vision for her. Her five year gap, starting a couple chapters after where she leaves off in dance, she takes a very firm, religiously inspired grip on the dothraki, and actually DEVELOPS some psychopathy by fire and blooding essos with them. Works even better the less it actually contributes to her goals, becoming more solidifying her own ego than any power she actually needs to acquire, having picked it up from her followers.
    This could be happening at the exact same time as Jon using HIS position as an object of worship (following his resurrection, a dropped plot in the show with huge potential and consequence) to do good things for people, in a way that has nothing to do with his ego.
    This build-up of how each is using their extreme power over people culminating in them meeting gives the audience the juxtaposition between them, but the fun would be in watching them discover these things about each other. The dream of spring is the dream they both have that the other is exactly who they need, but dreams are even windier than words.
