the TV series ended. The book series, famously, has not.

Curious to see you mention Elric, ZodWallop. Nothing like having an "Eternal Champion" to make sure there never had to be an end.

I'm not a fan of fantasy novels in general. I enjoy them every once in a while. But from my outsider's perspective, it seems like Lord of the Rings, Elric, Thomas Covenant, Book of the New Sun and A Song of Ice and Fire are milestones that pushed fantasy forward.
I do think it will be a shame if GRRM never completes his series. My suspicion is that he'll finish the books once the heat dies down. I can't help but wonder if the spotlight from the show game him performance anxiety.
