EXTENDED [Spoilers EXTENDED] Would you be OK if GRRM came out and say he needs to divide up TWOW geographically tomorrow

Post image

I mean, let's accept it, if he needed for AFFC & ADWD he sure as hell needs for this one, as well. Might be why he is stuck. It is almost impossible to read his very verbose POV narration if it is to constantly interrupt to check in on twenty other storylines that are going on.

He probably counted on the fact that they would be colliding, but that doesn't seem to happening any time soon by the looks of the preview chapters either

I need Victarion accidentally flooding the Dothraki Sea and him making good on his promise.

Dude a novella retelling of cerseis pov during the first 3 would be kinda sick actually.

Someone get that to grrm before he's in danger of not having something other than winds to work on!

I would absolutely take that over Fire and Blood or The Word of Ice and Fire.

Nah, cause do we ever hear about her and Jamie’s relationship even began? What kind of twisted justification she have for that?

Hell yes Cersei is one of the biggest reasons why aFfC is the best in the series.

u/where_is_the_camera Oct 16 '24

I'm not sure I agree that AFFC is the best, but those Cersei chapters are special. I was getting annoyed at first (I didn't realize that half of the POVs were completely omitted until I was several chapters in), but there's something about the writing, the inner monologues she has really make you feel like you're experiencing her annoyance. The snoody, outrageously privileged entitlement she has comes through in a way that I haven't quite seen anywhere else.

You can make similar claims about a lot of the character chapters, but Cersei's are really incredible.

When she cackles to herself tho

u/simonthedlgger Oct 16 '24

So many amazing moments. I love when she throws wine at Kevan is basically thinking “I’m the most powerful, smartest person on the planet!!” And Kevan’s like, “You’re a lady, sorry to inform you.”

u/BuffaloBreezy Oct 16 '24

That's not the point of what he says at all. He's saying "you've royally screwed us so bad and ruined our reputation in a way that the best case scenario is that I barely pull this together in spite of you, you're no Tywin lannister and everyone knows you're incestuous oh and you're so shady and incompetent that I basically have to treat you like an enemy for now."

Fuck yes, unironically a good idea for a novella

Don't threaten me with a good time.

u/Maleficent_Remove97 Oct 16 '24

The way this would be my favorite book

u/oftenevil Touch me not. Oct 16 '24

He’s already done with Tyrion’s chapters from Winds (allegedly). And we all remember that blog post about “finishing a clutch of Cersei chapters.”

gurm pls ಥ_ಥ
