Redpill me on this. Is it truth or false?

I'm sure these were all pretty cliché already in the 80's.

A simple Wikipedia search shows Game of Thrones was first published in 1991.

This chart is misleading.

What are you talking about?

Who cares

>>9308972
False, genre fiction is 99% trash and both of these are included in that majority.

>>9308972
False in aggregate. Other than the similarities of Wit-Bond and Warging, most of the parallels are not notable at all. That and Hobb's literary abilities are leagues behind Martin's.

>That and Hobb's literary abilities are leagues behind Martin's
It's sad that someone worse than Martin can be published and be popular.

stopped reading right then and there

I think I remember him saying that he took from tad williams pretty liberally. not sure it applies to hobb.
