A better synopsis:

Writer starts a book series, realizes the story has become too convoluted, so he delays and delays, but has been promising to release the next book for like 10 years. All while continuously starting new projects while he should be finishing the book.

Oh, and it's not even the final book in the series. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

At this point, I've forgotten most of what happened. I would have to re-read the whole series because it's been so long since the last book.

Synopsis:
Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse—unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season.

Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen's brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister—the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms.

Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki—whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys.

I agree with you. Between his unkept promises and his attitude towards his readers I'm finished contributing to his bank account.

HBO hasn't they made him rich. House of the dragon is great so far. I want the book as much as anyone else. But let's be fair at least we are getting content. And not left hung dry.

The books have no ending as they are yet to come out, that is unless you're talking about the show, which is it's own thing. I'll be good as long as he has a plan in place when he dies the books come out as is. I could care less if the ending and his books are more in the world building genre. The path is the main point not necessarily the destination.

His plan is that if he dies unexpectedly the fans are "shit out of luck". But if he comes down with something more lingering he may put together an outline and/or talk to another writer to try to wrap things up, Robert Jordan-style.

the journey not the destination is a cop out and lazy writing, story telling or anything in life. glad their people with low enough standards you can drive them around the block call it a road trip and they be happy it the journey not the destination .... and yes, the ending was lazy and stupid if the books follow suit it be just as bad. 3 major players with right to rule at the end, with the fate of the world, shifting views killing thousands and more, all fade away for a random boy with visions and he will lead better than all, thu his only thing done in life is watching people have sex and becoming crippled while been taken care of.... wow this kid going rule a empire! add to it john snows emo Im a nobody let me piss and moan all the time but everyone trying make him king and he run away to the wall alone..... uh ? great.

*SPEND* $10 get $5 dollars off. I was wondering how they would track how many books I bought. Looks like it has to be one transaction, so a kindle book over $9.99 unless I'm unaware of a way to buy multiple books in one transaction.

This book series has taught me to never start reading a series until the author has finished all the books. These are great books but he's not going to finish it before he dies.
