Meanwhile, it's been 10 years since "A Dance With Dragons", the 5th of seven books in the "Ice and Fire" series, was released. In that time we've seen seven seasons of the show come and go. George Martin has also written at least one other book. To hell with him, all seven of them.

Yeah at this point I would probably have to re read the whole series and I don't know if I can do that.

I KNOW I can't at this point. And seriously, why should we? Having millions of readers left hanging while you spend 10 years on other writing projects is a dick move.
