When Game of Thrones aired its first episode back in 2011, Martin had just released the fifth book in the novel series, A Dance With Dragons.
Speaking to PBS in Chicago, George RR Martin said, “Looking back, I wish I’d stayed ahead of the books.
The ending of Game of Thrones still sticks in the craw of many fans of the series who just didn’t like either the ending or indeed the last few episodes building up to it.
So, I’m still working on the book, but you’ll see my ending when that comes out.”
