The Long-Awaited Game of Thrones... Cookbook?

Twelve years, eight seasons, and one prequel later, fans are still agonizing over when the much-awaited sixth installment of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series will be finished. Many have been haranguing the author online to finish the book which he had promised to complete by 2020. Then again, a pandemic had swept the whole world, and one might think that that would have given him enough time to sit at home and write, but the 75-year-old author has been quite busy, and perhaps, still ruminating about how the story must progress.

Nevertheless, he announced on X (formerly Twitter) that they will be releasing a new Game of Thrones book, but not the Winds of Winter. Instead, it will be an official GoT cookbook which will include recipes of the Dothraki. It was written by Chelsea Monroe-Casselat, with a foreword by Martin. It sounds like a troll, but George R.R. Martin seems to be as affected by people's hounding him over the Winds of Winter as anybody would, as evidenced by the meme he tweeted.

To be honest, he can take as much time as he needs to finish the book, but considering his advanced age, we do hope that he is able to finish the whole series which, if anybody would remember, still has one more installment, Dream of Spring. At least, for now, we know that he's working on it but no guarantees that it will come out anytime soon.

He can certainly take as long as he wants to finish the series, if indeed he ever does. That said, I'm done with it. For starters, I thought the last, finished book was pretty terrible. Second, I simply don't remember most of it and I'm not going to dedicate the time for a re-read, especially when the next book isn't the final one and there could be another decade in between. There's simply too much other good stuff out there to read. I think the finite space in my mind can hold the nitty gritty details of a story for about a year and then it's just getting deleted and replaced with info from other things. Since this series is built on the finer details... I'd just be lost diving back in. I don't have the slightest bit of excitement for any release. It's just... gone. I got hit with the double-whammy of this series and then The Kingkiller Chronicle, and that's when I decided that, for the most part, I'll wait until a series is complete to read it and then I can binge.
