re: #140 Romantic Heretic

I suspect Martin has been caught in a common author’s bind.

The fans want “MOAR! MOAR!” and Martin is, “I am so sick of these books. I’m tempted to just blow up the whole effen world and bring an end to it.”

Wait, you mean that’s not his plan? He already kills people in every chapter of every book. Don’t get attached, because they’ll be dead a few chapters later.

Hey look.. it’s a baby. You have a baby brother?
Had. Yeah, we killed him too.

I get that things were pretty savage in the middle ages and that’s some of the inspiration for the Westeros, but you’ve got bleak, and then you’ve got seriously frickin’ bleak.

GRRM is killing music icons bleak.
