I haven’t read or watched it so take it with a huge block of salt but …
I don’t think GRRM has it in him anymore. The hype was too great, the wait has been too long, he’s been harassed about it for years, probably hates even thinking about it by now. add to that a very badly received conclusion to the TV series which already left a bad taste with the audience, probably doesn’t help.
it’s the HL3 problem: it’s been so long nothing can possibly match the expectation. Trying to do it would be dumb at this point.
The other R. R. tried that too, except he still hasn’t finished the book where the cliffhanger should resolve.
