"I've read all the books in the #ASongOfIceAndFire series, but I'm not invested anymore. The long delay in publishing #TheWindsOfWinter and #ADreamOfSpring has taken away my interest in #GameOfThrones."

GRRW was hobbled by the success of the TV series.

#ASoIaF theory.

He jcouldn't get Winds rocking and rolling watching the tumult that was #GoT seasons 1-8. His story twisted and misunderstood. Watching as fans loved storylines he had long written past even having a possibility of happening.

Let's not even mention #LadyStoneheart.

But the show crashed, his world thrived, and his confidence must have soared.

All this to say I'm holding out how for #ADreamOfSpring to make it on my bookshelf.
