**** this series
- no real or specific spoilers below, only a general opinion but you might want to skip if you don't want any surprises spoiled when/if you read it -
This thread finally made me pick up this series after a lot of recommendations - I'm 2/3 through the 3rd book and I'm sick of it. It's very well written but I'm sick of the death. I'm tired of becoming invested in characters and -boom- dead.
I mean, I don't usually think that I am someone who has to have a happy ending - but damn...
I'm pretty much at the point of saying that any character I like is going to die. So whoever is left standing at the end - I'm probably not going to give a ****
I can't put the books down, but I also don't enjoy being ****** off and frustrated when I'm reading something I can't put down either
At least when Martin pulls a Jordan and dies before the series is finished it will be easy for some scrub to complete for him - all the "good" people, they die. Nobody makes it home. Ever. Bad people prosper.
I hope martin finishes! He has only been writing ADWD for 6 years+. When I first started reading I saw the characters more in good and bad. Martin does a great job of showing a character through multiple view points. You end up seeing most of the characters in shades of grey.
