To me, in fiction, the journey is más important than the destination, so I’m ready to accept a world where the mostrar reaches the same destination of the libros por a different path. Having multiple angles on the same story will make both richer.
''I have decided to do that, yes. It’s something that involves a couple characters one whom is dead in the mostrar but not dead in the books. So the mostrar can’t do this, unfortunately.”
Although that was certainly the plan of George R.R. Martin and his publisher (not to mention our hope), we won’t read Book 6 ahead of Season 6 of Game of Thrones.
