Say what you will about his work, he was fighting to do it 'til the bitter end.
I'm still afraid George R. R. Martin is going to die of a hamburger induced heart attack before he can finish his series.
Awful writing, but people enjoyed it. He will be missed.
Even if he did carry a pimp cane and wear tinted sunglasses indoors.
It sucks though that he didn't get finished with Memory of Light before he passed. Luckily, his brother said that he sat his family down the other week and told them everything that was in his head that was to transpire in the last book.
Maybe someday it will see the light of day and the Last Battle can end.
I couldn't put down the first 4 of them when I first heard of the series and gave it a whirl.
