ASOIAF is good, but it's not the best nor will it ever be finished.

Imagine how much mouth breathing is happening simultaneously while each episode airs. Pathetic.

>>87068449
it will be finished, just probably not by the fat man

>posts a pic of the best book of the series
hmm...
anyway, the plotting was pretty good in the first three books, where the "twists" actually make sense and can be predicted beforehand if you pay attention. the inner monologues characters have give more depth to them, there's a wide range of cultures and personalities, a giant world, and some cool POVs that shed light on previously unsung characters, notably Jaime and Theon.

You can tell ASOIAF is better from the covers

>>87068540
AFFC is one of the most useless books ever written.

>>87068592
ASOS is the third book, and the picture OP posted

Kingkiller Chronicles is better

stfu lotr fag

it's way better than your generic fantasy good vs. evil plots

Because it came out at a time when Warcraft and LOTR gained popularity. The book readers enjoyed it and watched the show, which happened at the same time the golden age of tv was dying and the normies jumped in around season 3 and ruined it.

The books are still great despites the last two seasons and idiot tv detectives trying to ruin everything

Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Tolkien, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Aragorn’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles?

Imagine being you in that editorial meeting and having to be all like "damn, George R. R. Martin, you fuckin' fine, all profound with your hackneyed historical allegories and distorted political realism. I would totally read your books, both my pen name and the real me." when all you really want to do is reread Lolita in your corner office. Like seriously imagine having to be you and not only sit in that chair while George R. R. Martin flaunts his disgusting prose in front of you, the embarrassing metaphors barely concealing his utter lack of literary nuance, and just sit there, page after page, chapter after chapter, while he perfected that novel. Not only having to tolerate his monstrous fucking drivel but his haughty attitude as everyone on the board tells him he's SURPASSED TOLKIEN and DAMN, GEORGE R. R. MARTIN WRITES LIKE *THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch his overt perversions contort into types of fetishization you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been reading nothing but a healthy diet of Joyce, Pynchon and Wallace for your ENTIRE ADULT LIFE coming straight out of a boarding school in Europe. You've never even read anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you encounter the pinnacles of his work, every stool that was looser than the one before and her cunt that became the world, as he recites them while gesturing suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in his "painstaking (for that is what he calls it)" writing, the writing he worked so sporadically for in the previous decades. And then the editor in chief calls for another discussion, and you know you could discredit Martin’s entire bibliography before the SJW and diversity hires could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking you. You're not going to lose your future publisher’s career over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

Name me a better series and I'll gladly read it to completion.
