I would really love to know why it's taken soooooo long to finish this series, he's had chapters of book 6 published for years already.
The shear scope and complexity of the series ( what I loves about it) I think is also his downfall, with so many threads to tie up, I think he is batteling to make it work.
Selling out to the tv producers has probably made his task even more difficult.
I don't have a problem with books 4 and 5, it adds to the part of the 3 theme in the series.
You don't need an English degree to read it and he doesn't keep on repeating things like some other authors. Yes it is a series for adults. If he can finish and tie everything up it would make one amazing and unequalled series ever written.
I offer a challenge, name a fantasy series that comes close to this. Malazan book of the fallen come close and please don't name WOT, it's a children's book compared.
And no, I am not a GRRM Fanatic I think he's a bit of a dick.
