@Steampunk Velocity Weapon sounds interesting. Is it a standalone or part of a series?
Book 1 of a trilogy. There is no resolution at the end of the story, so it's not standalone, and there's a fair few cliff hangers.

Not worried about Martin anymore, it feels like he's given up anyway. I know the books can't be as bad as the show but I wouldn't be in a rush to read them now. As for Pat, I didn't realise the 3rd book wasn't out when I started, or how slow he has been. Really need the next book!This lockdown should hopefully give writers like Martin and Pat Rothfus some impetus to getting their books finished! (won't hold my breath)
I don't think GRRM will ever finish the series. I think he saw the reception of Series 8 of the TV show and thought "I don't want that so if I never finish, I never have to endure it."
That's true but I get the feeling it's more like those days when you have some onerous thing to do (like me today, updating my CV) and you'll find any excuse not to get to it. I get the feeling that GRRM can't really be bothered to carry on with the books so he's just using S8 as his excuse (to himself).My understanding is that Martin agreed with Benioff and Weiss that the TV series would NOT have same ending as the books, so as not to be a spoiler for them. And given how much better at writing Martin is than B&W I would bet this is true.

Don't say it like that! I've just acquired the entire set on my kindle after picking them up whenever they've been on sale and was planning on reading them soon, now you're just confusing the issue lmao!God help me I've decided on a full reread of the Malazan Book of the Fallen. There gos my next 6 months.

What would you compare them to? I've read most fantasy series but for some reason I've never read them.
It wasn't going to stop me to be fairOh please don't take my comment the wrong way, its my favourite book series of all time, you'll have a blast.
Will probably finish book 3 of the expanse tomorrow, so will go straight into book 4 Great stuff.
I'm in a minority that book 4 is one of my favourites of the series.
Book 3 has probably been my favourite so far. Hoping the standard is of a high level all the way through the 8 books. I'll surely read them all now
I'll elaborate more on why i like book 4 when you've finished 3 as i might accidentally give something away.
The quality does continue...I think it helps it's two writers and maybe they keep each other in line and are constantly bouncing ideas off each other.
