I remember hearing about this great new series of books that HBO was making into a series in 2011. I started watching the show and started thinking; I remember that wall of ice, I remember this Jon Snow character and many other things.
Well turned out the series wasn't new and I had read the first book in the late 90's.
Saying this it is now 2021 and Martin has still not written the final books of the series.
I have since reread the books and I loved the HBO series at least until those last seasons when the series did not have the books to follow any longer.

I wish Martin would do what Robert Jordan's family did and let someone else finish the series for him. I would love to know what his original ending for the series was.
For great character development and characters you will always remember few surpass this series. I must for lovers so dark fantasy. But this series is responsible for my newest rule of reading "Do not start a series until the author has finished it."
