@Frank Castle I disagree, there are simply too many book established key scenarios that point towards Lyanna Stark being Jon Snow's mother. Also, the depth and importance of a plot twist like that is way beyond the show writers abilities. This twist came from Martin himself. Also there is an interview where D/D say Martin selected them to spearhead the show simply because of the fact that during their first conversations Martin asked them who they thought Jon Snow's mother was, and they (I assume) gave him the answer he wanted. Hell, I'll just link it ruclips.net/video/Ql0ZPY8lENo/видео.html. Towards the end I think.
@Frank Castle Admittedly, I do not read the books. I just pour over AWOIAF (judge me as you will!). I think its entry on the Tourney at Harrenhall and the Knight of the Laughing Tree provide very compelling evidence that at the least Rhaegar and Lyanna had a consensual relationship. As for Jon being their son you may be right, I haven't read as much on the ToJ. I guess I would reference how Ned tells Jon he will discuss his mother the next time he sees him (assumed to be after he takes the Black and renounces all titles), but that is also speculation.

Piece of cake this Song of Ice and Fire thing, be strong lads.
My calculations and estimations seem to indicate that WINDS will come out in 2023 because George has already finished two POV storylines, which means that he has written 800 pages already.
@@larochejaquelein3680 How wonderful the world must look through such optimistic eyes haha. Honestly my first thought when I saw the 2028 was "gotta see that to believe it".
George writes three thousand page manuscripts containing dozens of POV characters and literally hundreds of plotlines. Moreover, he manages to pull it off magnificently. I’m not surprised it takes him a long time to write the novels, he clearly cares about the quality of the text. Meanwhile, D&D can barely even competently write a five hundred page screenplay without ruining characters, derailing entire storylines and creating a multitude of plot holes. George hasn’t forgotten to write the books, he simply takes his time because he genuinely cares about them, unlike the showrunners.
Father Alexander Anderson bruh this is wayyyy too much time. Your arguments invalid when you look at the time periods between the other books being way shorter. Yes he cares but he clearly slacked off a lil recently
Me too. While listening I forgot that it was George reading. I was there with the characters. It happens when I listen to Dotrice as well. I hope the rest of the books will be turned into audiobooks by either George himself or Robert from In Deep Geek.
@@T0FFII They started to mix characters to eachother, I mean they were doing it with Edric Storm and Gendry, early on but they weren't important characters. Current Jon Snow in the show, is really a mixture of best parts of Stannis Baratheon and Jon's headstrong honourable side. Without the slightest portion of his practicality, humour, tendency to be harsh and quite dangerous leader to provoke. Same with Victarion. They literally decided to ignore the most badass character we saw in fights as a POV. Even though they more and more relied on casual action bits.
As a ‘glass half full’ person I believe he will finish winds of winter. But does anyone, I mean even the most positive human being in the world, actually believe that he will ever finish a dream of spring?
Unless he’s had a suprise up his sleeve for the past years. something along the lines of working on both books this past decade so that he can release them both one after the other…. I don’t see dream of spring ever reaching us. It’s really hard to fathom that he still isn’t done with winds after 12 years. He has refused to pass off the story to anyone. So I’m hoping he will surprise us but I don’t see it happening. Sadly 😔
I believe he will. I think when he finishes Winds he will go straight to Dream. Around the end of 2023 is when i think Winds will either be announced or released. By 2026 is when Dream has a good chance of doing the same. I dont believe the books may be 6 years apart like Feast and Dance was. The reason may be because there might be less GoT content out there (Shows, movies, etc.) that would keep GRRM occupied. Thus, he will have more time to himself to “grow his garden.” So maybe 3-5 years of time in between to for Dream to come out. Thus by 2026 to possibly 2028 is when the series would finally be complete.
Winds of Winter will get done, and the only way Dream of Spring gets done is if he backs off the tv show aspect. He also worked on Elden Ring. He’s doing too much at once. He stated he wants to expand the game of thrones universe aka more shows. He needs to limit his involvement and write. With how badly the show ended, the books could salvage one of the greatest stories ever told.
This still sends tingles up my spine, such a great writer, such an intriguing character, so much symbolism and foreboding within this chapter and his voice is the cherry on the cake.

Too many accents were just too off for me; he made Arianne Scottish, Missandei he spoke with an awful Chinese accent, he called Brienne "Bry-een", Tyrions accent kept flitting between being Welsh and Cornish... It really got under my skin. Much easier to just read it. On the bright side, he won't be narrating TWoW or ADoS.
I’ve struggled getting into his audio books.... after listening to Harry Lloyd narrate a knight of the seven kingdoms I can’t really listen to anyone else lol he’s awesome
“Seven hells I forgot about the iron fleet” said Danny with a look of horror on her face as she clutched her dying dragon. “But clearly they have not forgotten me”
If GRRM was your English teacher, he wouldn't have shown up to teach in over a decade and would instead be doing plumbing jobs all over town because it pays better.
Victarion and his red priest Moqorro are probably a crucial thread in Daenerys character devellopment, it was a HUGE mistake to scrap him from the show.

@@branc2795 and before Columbus we only knew the world to be flat and the never ending sea to end in death, but in truth it ended where it started and the Americans were found.
The ending is basically going to be the same in the books. The journey will be more detailed and better paced, offering more context to why that’s how it ends.
omg waaaa the show couldn't be exactly like the books. Go cry about it. Or better yet learn a thing or two about film and understand why changes always have to be made when adapting literature.
Just because the show has to be different, doesn't mean the show has to be garbage. May be you need to get off the blind fanboy bandwagon. Everyone here loves the series, and if so many people are disappointed, you need to accept that the writing for the show has been shit for the last 2 seasons.
HBO wanted at least ten seasons, which would have solved many of the major issues. David and Dan were the ones who said, “we can do it in less.” They were wrong.
The hilarious thing is that it’s almost certain that the red priest on board has done some kind of magic to the horn so that if it’s blown nobody in the iron fleet or the iron islands will be in control of the Dragons. It’s clear in the book that the horn has an owner and the owner doesn’t have to be the one who blows it. Therefore there is some kind of magic involved with the ownership of it
@@Divinemakyr Im inclined to agree. Euron would not send Victarion with the horn if it wasnt bound to euron. We will have to see what Euron has planned.
@@flahoo2807 As GRRM says, Victarion is not the sharpest blade in the armory. He believes blowing the horn will make him control the dragons, but Euron is the smart one and knows who the true owner is and it's not Victarion.
@@feonor26 I think Victarion has some skepticism especially since Moquorro has clarified the rules of the horn more. I think there is going to be pandemonium in the wake of this, because you have Victarion as one of the dumbest characters and Euron as a conniving blasphemer with probably real magic. Its gonna be really great. He will have someone blow the horn and its going to bring hellfire to meereen.
@@flahoo2807 I just want the Winds of Winter in my hands now. I have given up hope of Dreams of Spring, but let me at least have The Winds of Winter and I can make up the end in my head on my own. Thats all I ask.
Ya know what would be a fun twist - that the Dusky Woman is the one who infected Victarion's hand in the last book, and that she did this as a result of never washing her hands. She'll only infect him again when she bleeds him this time. It's such a small way to kill such a big man - hilarious because it describes how overwhelmingly stupid Victarion is. He knows that Euron's gifts are poisoned, but he trusts this strange lady regardless.
@Frank Castle, For sure. If blood is the reagent, he could just as easy swap Victarion's for another's. For that matter though, so could the Dusky Woman. Again, "dumb as a stump"
i don't think it will work, blowing the horn might not be all that is needed to controll the dragons, maybe it's just one part of the ritual, or maybe it will only work if one of valyrian blood sounds it.
There must be more to it, Euron would not give up this horn you spent a life time looking forward and also supposedly has the power to tame dragons. Victarion called Euron a fool for giving him the horn, a red flag there. Euron is no fool, he has planned for something else. This reading reminds us that Euron has already betrayed Victarion to get what he wants whilst leaving all the heavy lifting to Victarion. Could this be another betrayal of our favourite iron born?
@The Law Well, since getting Moqorro on board his hand healed and his fleet grew exponentially. If we're talking facts and not speculation, Victarion is in a really good place. He's an experienced battle commander with a huge fleet going to a city ravaged by war and instability. Also, unlike Stannis, he doesn't have the morals to hesitate when the priest demands sacrifice, which makes his magic stronger.
@The Law I don't know why Euron would send his whole fleet to die. He surely must trust Victarion somewhat, given that he told him about his plans to get dragons and all. Also Victarion has proved loyal in the past, helping Euron get the Shield Islands. It seems to me like Euron has no idea his brother hates him.
@The Law I've read The Forsaken. It's great. Still, just because Euron doesn't care about the ironborn doesn't mean he doesn't recognize them as valuable in achieving his goal. Of course it's possible that Victarion is doomed, but I don't think GRRM would make him a POV if he wasn't really important to the story going forward. Think about Quentyn Martell. He already traveled to Essos looking for Daenerys and got roasted by a dragon. Do you really think GRRM would do the same storyline twice?
@The Law What if Barristan Selmy forges an alliance with Vic? Remember how Daenerys has been looking for a fleet since book 2? He could be the way for Dany to reach Westeros. I really like what you're predicting but I think George could be have something even more unexpected in mind.
book : iron borns are some badass lovecraftian vikings with amongst them pure badasses like Victarion or mystical psychopathic maniacs warlords like Euron. show : iron borns are those weak-ass sea-pikeys who piss off people from time to time. And Euron is just some dude.
I think the book readers deserve a dialogue from George of what's going on in the books to get us back up to speed. I read DwD BEFORE THE TV SHOW STARTED
Even before the series became the biggest book in the world every book took about five years or so to write. This book is probably going to be half as big again as the biggest book in the series. Probably 150 170 chapters at least. So his usual writing time, plus a bigger book, plus being the worlds most in demand Author who is also involved with TV and all the offshoots of the ice and fire series in terms of merchandise etc etc. Was always going to take a long time. In many ways the success of the show has probably stolen the time he would have used to write
It was not released in 2020 lol. Anyways, I've re-read asoiaf first three books five times, and AFFC/ADWD four times, in two years, althought my latest read was the first time where I actually read every single chapter. Before that, I'd always end up skipping a few chapters from characters I liked less, like Bran, Samwell or Brienne. Now that I've read them, I can say that I missed something really good when I skipped Bran's adwd chapters, but the rest was about as boring as I expected.

The hype on that last line.
“If it made the three feel braver to think that they had a choice, let them cling to that” hahahaha
Whoo thanks for this! More GRRM clips please!
I'm playing this to soothe my bitter soul, the morning after the show's end horrifically bad ending.
The ending is basically going to be the same in the books.
The journey will be more detailed and better paced, offering more context to why that’s how it ends.
@Michael Herd GRRM said the ending will probably be the same for the main characters but the paths to get there will be different.
Souls don’t exist
I wanna read this damn book man. Hope it comes out soon.
Such a great writer. I can’t for the release of every book. That will be the only way to forget about the horrible fanfiction D&D created.
Arpad Szabo oh man
Have you seen the 5th episode?
omg waaaa the show couldn't be exactly like the books. Go cry about it. Or better yet learn a thing or two about film and understand why changes always have to be made when adapting literature.
Just because the show has to be different, doesn't mean the show has to be garbage. May be you need to get off the blind fanboy bandwagon. Everyone here loves the series, and if so many people are disappointed, you need to accept that the writing for the show has been shit for the last 2 seasons.
@@Oswald_Thatendswald Bullshit. season 1-4 worked just fine.
@@mizusecond And a fucking ton of changes were made from the books too, so thanks for proving my point.
The end will be of course like in the Show, but the novels will just make so much more sense and Show how it was supposed to be. What a god.
I needed to hear this after the travesty HBO did with the final season...
Fernando Simon Music D&D not HBO
Fernando Simon Music 👍
HBO wanted at least ten seasons, which would have solved many of the major issues.
David and Dan were the ones who said, “we can do it in less.” They were wrong.
Crybaby bitch
Benioff and Weiss
I love hearing authors read their own work. They should get George to do the audiobooks, but I doubt he will because of time.
This book needs to come soon.
Hehehheeh
@@aaalucasaalucas8788hehehehe
heres a little reminder its been half a decade
All hail the one and only Song of Ice and Fire!
The hilarious thing is that it’s almost certain that the red priest on board has done some kind of magic to the horn so that if it’s blown nobody in the iron fleet or the iron islands will be in control of the Dragons. It’s clear in the book that the horn has an owner and the owner doesn’t have to be the one who blows it. Therefore there is some kind of magic involved with the ownership of it
Euron is most likely the owner.
@@Divinemakyr Im inclined to agree. Euron would not send Victarion with the horn if it wasnt bound to euron. We will have to see what Euron has planned.
@@flahoo2807 As GRRM says, Victarion is not the sharpest blade in the armory. He believes blowing the horn will make him control the dragons, but Euron is the smart one and knows who the true owner is and it's not Victarion.
@@feonor26 I think Victarion has some skepticism especially since Moquorro has clarified the rules of the horn more. I think there is going to be pandemonium in the wake of this, because you have Victarion as one of the dumbest characters and Euron as a conniving blasphemer with probably real magic. Its gonna be really great. He will have someone blow the horn and its going to bring hellfire to meereen.
@@flahoo2807 I just want the Winds of Winter in my hands now. I have given up hope of Dreams of Spring, but let me at least have The Winds of Winter and I can make up the end in my head on my own. Thats all I ask.
Story writers are not always the great story tellers.
Man he is amazing!
Truly fantastic writing!
Ya know what would be a fun twist - that the Dusky Woman is the one who infected Victarion's hand in the last book, and that she did this as a result of never washing her hands. She'll only infect him again when she bleeds him this time.
It's such a small way to kill such a big man - hilarious because it describes how overwhelmingly stupid Victarion is. He knows that Euron's gifts are poisoned, but he trusts this strange lady regardless.
@Frank Castle, For sure. If blood is the reagent, he could just as easy swap Victarion's for another's. For that matter though, so could the Dusky Woman. Again, "dumb as a stump"
I love listening to this man read his work! Fantastic
I love the fact that these videos of GRRM are being recommended to me after that disappointing final season of the TV show.
Came here to have my faith in the series restored after that tragedy of a series finale.
Victarion is my favourite character
Stannis
Oh, George.
Please save us.
5:00.
GOD DAMN!
Look at those people. Never seen this many so attentive and unflinching.
Respect to Roy Dotrice but this too much.
Ppl in the audience who only saw the show are like "Wtf is he talking about", hahahahaha i love it.
xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Damn!!! This man knows his craft.
*I require more*
2:22 I was scared, I thought the lady is gonna laugh again
George doesn’t write ........He sings ♥️
Anyone after Game of Thrones ended?
3:42 Ya damn right! That's all of us listening to George.
Can he do an audio book? Like seriously I wanna hear just him read it
I feel like I'm in elementary school again, someone reading to me
Fans can have little a Winds of Winter as a treat.
So my theory is that they will successfully blow the horn and summon rhaegal and viserion nearby in Meereen
i don't think it will work, blowing the horn might not be all that is needed to controll the dragons, maybe it's just one part of the ritual, or maybe it will only work if one of valyrian blood sounds it.
There must be more to it, Euron would not give up this horn you spent a life time looking forward and also supposedly has the power to tame dragons. Victarion called Euron a fool for giving him the horn, a red flag there. Euron is no fool, he has planned for something else. This reading reminds us that Euron has already betrayed Victarion to get what he wants whilst leaving all the heavy lifting to Victarion. Could this be another betrayal of our favourite iron born?
I think he didn't count on Victarion finding the red priest maqorro. who seems to have changed ownership of the horn.
@@tec5412
"Euron's gifts are poisoned."
Moqorro may very well be deceiving him, using him as a means to an end to get the horn to Daenerys safe and sound
They’re all in trance
Victarion will be the king of the iron islands!
@The Law he has the red priest with him though
@The Law Well, since getting Moqorro on board his hand healed and his fleet grew exponentially. If we're talking facts and not speculation, Victarion is in a really good place. He's an experienced battle commander with a huge fleet going to a city ravaged by war and instability.
Also, unlike Stannis, he doesn't have the morals to hesitate when the priest demands sacrifice, which makes his magic stronger.
@The Law I don't know why Euron would send his whole fleet to die. He surely must trust Victarion somewhat, given that he told him about his plans to get dragons and all.
Also Victarion has proved loyal in the past, helping Euron get the Shield Islands.
It seems to me like Euron has no idea his brother hates him.
@The Law I've read The Forsaken. It's great.
Still, just because Euron doesn't care about the ironborn doesn't mean he doesn't recognize them as valuable in achieving his goal.
Of course it's possible that Victarion is doomed, but I don't think GRRM would make him a POV if he wasn't really important to the story going forward.
Think about Quentyn Martell. He already traveled to Essos looking for Daenerys and got roasted by a dragon. Do you really think GRRM would do the same storyline twice?
@The Law What if Barristan Selmy forges an alliance with Vic? Remember how Daenerys has been looking for a fleet since book 2? He could be the way for Dany to reach Westeros.
I really like what you're predicting but I think George could be have something even more unexpected in mind.
Just a taste...with a lingering after taste..
Great to see that Martins writing is as good as ever. Age did not take his wits
Honestly I would have loved George narrate all audiobooks of ASOIAF, but he would never finish the series then sadly.
book : iron borns are some badass lovecraftian vikings with amongst them pure badasses like Victarion or mystical psychopathic maniacs warlords like Euron.
show : iron borns are those weak-ass sea-pikeys who piss off people from time to time. And Euron is just some dude.
George please mend what those writers did to your work.
Can't wait, I am curious to see how different it will be from the show.
I'm too hyped for this book, have been for 3 years.
3 years? oh my sweet summer child.
Jack in the books we call them green children.
George is such a good writer.
3 years ago, *sad noises*
D&D preferred to spend 8 years ruining potentially the best show rather than 13 on the actual best show.
I think the book readers deserve a dialogue from George of what's going on in the books to get us back up to speed. I read DwD BEFORE THE TV SHOW STARTED
I finished the books just before season 8 started and I want a full recap already! Moving onto Fire and Blood and A World of Ice and Fire 🔥
I swear i wanted to hear Moqorro's voice so bad in the TV show but it wasn't possible.
I wish the show was longer so they could include Victarion stuff, some of my favorite chapters.
It’s been 2 years and the book still hasn’t come out yet.
Even before the series became the biggest book in the world every book took about five years or so to write. This book is probably going to be half as big again as the biggest book in the series. Probably 150 170 chapters at least. So his usual writing time, plus a bigger book, plus being the worlds most in demand Author who is also involved with TV and all the offshoots of the ice and fire series in terms of merchandise etc etc. Was always going to take a long time. In many ways the success of the show has probably stolen the time he would have used to write
@@conors4430
There was 2 years in between the first 3 books..
@@coldhands2802
So what. Don't care how long it takes as long as it's good when it comes out
@@conors4430, he should have splitted WoW into two books. Why all the need to have seven books, not the eight?
@@coldhands2802 Not true, it actually took 6 each as they were already written. The 2 years between were editing and other shit
Awesome. I can see it all. I knew the brute was gonna be bald. Cant wait
Cant wait.
This little snippet was better than the entire season 7 and 8 of the tv show
You can really tell which of the audience members are fully engrossed, and which are completely confused.
I have small hope that george will finish Winds and Spring. As small as it is, its there.
This was three years ago. Still not released haha
That's just this particular upload. This interview/reading is actually from 2012.
To lose this man would ruin society
I enjoyed the reading.
Holy shit, this guy's good! I think he's gonna make it!
Martin, finish the damn book.....God.
How I miss a song of ice and fire. Should I re-read it for the 3rd time?
@@LucasBR702 Coronavirus: *Hey*
It was not released in 2020 lol. Anyways, I've re-read asoiaf first three books five times, and AFFC/ADWD four times, in two years, althought my latest read was the first time where I actually read every single chapter. Before that, I'd always end up skipping a few chapters from characters I liked less, like Bran, Samwell or Brienne. Now that I've read them, I can say that I missed something really good when I skipped Bran's adwd chapters, but the rest was about as boring as I expected.
