The guy makes a ton of choices to not do ASOIAF and that's pretty much that. The rest is for everyone to find a place they can reside comfortably while they wait to see if he actually does finish a book or multiple books.No point in getting mad or telling him this - several hundred thousand people have already done that and it didn't lead to more books.
This nails it for me.
It's crossed my mind before if the incredibly negative reaction to the end of the TV series had an effect on his enthusiasm to finish, given I assume the book story will end in roughly the same place (though I would hope be much more fulfilling in the process of arriving there).
In reality though, similarly to what others have said above, Dance left me very cold and I have no enthusiasm to pick the series back up. I re-read when Dance came out and didn't enjoy the books after the first as much as I remember doing (couldn't stand Arya's chapters, for one) so I think I'm comfortable being fully out. -

Couldn't sleep so ended up reading for four hours finishing this.
It's beautiful. Wears it's WW1 setting with just the right amount of weight in terms of the horror and tragedy and to carry the darker elements of the story, whilst not making it so heavy it stifles the ultimate story of hope and courage. Would highly recommend, particularly to anyone who enjoyed The Bear and the Nightingale books. I'd say this is better. -

The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden.
I loved the Bear and the Nightingale trilogy so really looking forward to this.
The Innkeeper's Song was a nice read and an fun premise, but it didn't have the pull and charm of The Last Unicorn for me. -

A real shame when it had hit its stride this series. I had begun to wonder though the longer time went on - if they had greenlit now it would have been a very long wait for the next series.
It would be great if it could be picked up by another streaming service, but I could imagine them all looking sideways at the fact it didn't meet Amazon's viewing figures (I assume) and wondering why it would be any different for them. -

Daniel Greene's Fantasy News pointed me at it - I rarely listen to the whole thing, but do occasionally go investigating things in the episode titles
