George R.R. Martin Is Also BummedGame of ThronesWent Beyond the Books

When Game of Thronesdebuted on HBO in 2011 , fan were stoked to see how the narrative and world of George R.R. Martin ’s A Song of Ice and Fire would play out on the small screen . But as theshowrunnersmoved past the books , things go a bitoff the rail . Now , the writer is look back with one thing on his mind : coulda - woulda - shoulda .

In an interview withChicago ’s PBS place , Martin shared his regrets on let Game of Thrones go pastthe book series . While he order the HBO hit changed his liveliness ( “ in mostly good way ” ) , he also pointed out how his “ crowing issue ” was not working fast enough with the time he had to ensure the show could keep to follow the principal plot of ground threads he ’d intended for the characters . “ Looking back , I wish I ’d stay ahead of the books , ” Martin said . “ When they began that serial , I had four Scripture already in print , and the 5th one came out just as the serial publication was part in 2011 . I had a five - book head start . And these are gigantic books , as you cognize . I never think they would enamor up with me but they did . They caught up with me and passed me and , you have intercourse , that made it a minuscule strange — because now , the show was in front of me and the show was last in somewhat unlike counsel . ”

Game of Thrones largely follow the events of A Song of Ice and Fire up until the season five finale , “ Mother ’s Mercy , ” which terminate with Daenerys escape Meereen and the Night ’s Watch murdering Jon Snow for forming an confederation with the Free Folk . Of course , there were other changes ( RIP Lady Stoneheart ) along the way of life , but for the most part , affair were consistent with the books . Once the show had shifted into its own affair , Martin give the showrunners basic synopses for aforethought storylines , admit how the series would end — but other than that they were kind of on their own . This did head to some tremendous moments , like Cersei Lannister destroying the Sept and that “ prevail the Door ” shot . But it also led to , well , all of season eight .

Yes , Martin isstill workingon The wind of Winter , the sixth book in the seven - book series — and there ’s still no outlet escort . It will be followed by A Dream of Spring in , I ’m guess 2078 .
