Nah it’s really not that hard, the fan base has basically already figured out the rest of the plot from foreshadowing and it’s decent. George repeats the same themes and plots over and over throughout history, the histories given in The World of Ice and Fire basically just gave away the entire plot. The problem is George has more money than he could ever spend, he’s grown complacent, he’s involved in 100 different projects to distract himself, and he’s very self-conscious about how unpopular the show became.
