In Deep Geek covered this, and I'll take Roberts opinion on it over GRR Martins.

Martin's a fucking hack, anyhow.

Please elaborate

Oh, I dunno... Maybe, because he all but copy/pasted real world historical events whole cloth rather than write his own?

Why else is his "last" book (the world could be so lucky) taking so long? Once a large chunk of the world population connects the dots, it wouldn't take them until the end of the first chapter of that latest brick to see he's only capable of coloring inside others' dusty lines. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Wow. I can't believe a writer would take inspiration from real world events! What a total scumbag. 🙄

Inspiration from? Bahahahaha. Oh, sweet summer child. You didn't even click the link? In your boundless experience, have you heard of "The War of the Roses"? York against Lancaster? Curiously similar, and it doesn't end there by a long shot — but you continue being glib and smirking at yourself. You're doing great. Bellend. 😘

I read the whole article. It's literally titled "The real historical events that inspired Game of Thrones".

No accounting for smarts, then. Ah, well. You do you, friendo. 🥲

I'm glad you enjoy being an elitist prick, since no one else is gonna like you for it. Good luck with that.
