Laughing because George Martin really has answered the question, “What would happen if we took all of the heroics out of heroic fantasy?” Steamed because God help you if you want to write a heroic fantasy trilogy these days. Nobody’s going to trust you.

This is beyond embarrassing at this point https://t.co/A7p7Iw3FaP pic.twitter.com/oyrSI3fMsy

Not that Martin cares, either way. He got paid, which is admittedly the goal. He’s never gonna even know that I’m specifically pissed off at him; and if he ever does, it will mean precisely nothing to him.

Such is life.
