Watching your masterpiece come to an end must be difficult thing to process . What does one do after closing the chapter on such an important part of your biography ? In the case ofA Song of Ice and FireauthorGeorge R. R. Martin , you write morebooks . But that does n’t think of that the bestselling novelist is n’t lamenting the conclusion ofGame of Thrones . In a recent interview withEntertainment Weekly , Martinadmittedthat he has " mixed feeling " about it all .

" It ’s been an unbelievable ride , " the authorsaid . " And almost all of it has been great . Obviously , I wish well I finished these Book sooner so the show had n’t gotten forward of me . I never anticipated that . "

The reason the television show ’s narrative has gone out front of Martin is because he has been wreak onThe Winds of Winter , the sixth book in the serial publication , for the past eight years — and it still does n’t have a dismissal date in survey . On top of that , there is also supposed to be a seventh Bible calledA Dream of Springto follow .

Apparently , Martin has toldGame of Thronesshowrunners Dan Weiss andDavid Benioffhow he recollect he wants his series to end , but no one can know for certain yet how much thetelevisionseries will end up differing from the book series .

“ [ The concern ] used to be that the books would spoil the show for masses — and luckily it did not for the most part , ” Benioff toldEntertainment Weekly . “ Now that the show is before of the books , it seems the show could ruin the rule book for people . So one thing we ’ve talked to George about is that we ’re not go to assure hoi polloi what the differences are , so when those books amount out people can experience them refreshing . ”

So whileGame of Throneswill be come to an end in May , it will definitelynotbe the end for the world of Westeros , as buff should expect to see two more books … finally .

“ It ’s the closing for a lot of mass , ” Martin say . “ It ’s not the remainder for me . I ’m still deeply in it . I better live a retentive time because I have a spate of work allow for to do . ”
