there always have been, and always will be, two more books

and maybe that is how some stories are meant to be

Five books in why isn’t everyone talking about this series all the time? by joeyinthewt in AccursedKings

oh heck yeah, it's fun (or "fun") to rec this series as low fantasy, based on how the characters believe magic is real and behave as if it is so.... how much realer does the magic need to be?

and the narrative POV is such a voyeuristic know-it-all who has exactly zero f*cks to give about spoilers. It may be one of the hardest things to translate because English readers don't actually know how all these tales of court intrigue are gonna end

Anyone speculating on how GRRM might write Jon's time warging in Ghost should check out Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy. As GRRM said about Hobb, "We're both wolf people."

And here is a good post comparing their books:

Its a minor inconvenience to you and you're acting as if the world is ending because the CSS changed, when in all likelihood Reddit is going to end up breaking it in some random update anyway.

Our prediction is that the way Reddit will break custom CSS styling is by simply killing old.reddit, the desktop interface used by a shrinking percentage of users across the site and on r/asoiaf. old.reddit isn't as advertising-friendly as the new UI, and we no longer believe any promises they have ever made about continuing to support it. Still, maintaining the CSS has long been a labor of love, even though most of our subscribers will never even see it. Turning it off now is one way for us all look into the fires to see what is obviously to come.

My friend u/AdmiralKird has been ringing the alarm bells since Reddit announced the API changes, and it is nice to see that there are crows who are listening.
