The author of Thrones should listen to the audience

As the controversy grows around the last season of Game of Thrones, I think the person who is most concerned about this reaction is George RR Martin, author of the Fantasy Book Series Song of Ice and Fire on which the show is based.

When A Game of Thrones, the first book in the series, was published in 1996, the success was huge. In part, because of the imaginary world created by Martin – filled with religions, races and ambitious characters – dragons, for God's sake – but also because it was a seductive tale that was moving high speed.

You are writing a book, and want to start the next one. A complicated reading, if you want.

Making it an excellent feed for a TV show, and this series started in 2011. The only problem was that Martin could not write fast enough to follow the TV show. Thus, when the time series was broadcast on six screens, the television program exceeded the books.

The last two series are based on a directive given by Martin to the creators of the show, as he told Rolling Stone magazine: the end will be things that I told the creators of the series he five or six years ago. "

Yet at the end of April, even Martin still did not know how the show was going to end. [19659002] Martin now has this very important information – a lot of fans do not like the way the story is told.

So, what is he doing now, since he has not finished writing the sixth or seventh books? He has options – so would he be tempted to change the end?

I mean, would not you? Why write a book when everyone knows the end?

Just under a million people signed a petition to have the last season redone – they are upset. I understood. Following a series of eight years is a real commitment. It is perhaps a longer relationship that many of us have yet established with our cars, our homes, our partners and our pets.

So, when you're all wrapped up in an incredible season, and everything collapses, I can understand the disappointment.

But look at yourself, it's a TV show. A fantastic television series – she has dragons, for the sake of God. It is also an episode of $ 15 million, so no one is in a hurry to resume a new session.

The TV series may be over, but the books are still in circulation. So, will Mr. Martin write new books on a story that everyone knows, and that many hate, or leave time for creativity to flourish and come up with a brand new end?

Personally, I would go with market research. and start again.
