Yes, there is homage to, and there is,"We are churning out pulp, because the heirs are greedy, and we think the fans are idiots who will not notice the difference."Sadly, if there are two and maybe three more, not a chance. He, himself has said he is a slow writer and "Dance with Dragons", IMHO, didn't much advance the plot. I read it and enjoyed it nevertheless.h/t tip for the Baked Swan, I hear that stuff is deadly.🤣

I know, GRR, doesn't owe us fans anything, but I also fear his works will have to be completed by Brandon Sanderson, as was the Wheel of Time series, by Robert Jordan, when he died of cancer. (Which is a great series too. if you have the time.)I thought they did a great job with the characters, in GOT, not like the True Blood characters, who were changed entirely, and went completely off script in the first episode. Charlaine Harris, the author, was not involved, and this has served as a "What not to do," warning for other authors.

Yes, Dunk and Egg's adventures are nice light reading after GOT, and all the intrigue. He could get a ghost writer fan and turn out lots of those. Even as a young Adult series. I have ended up reading many of those, because my local library is prone to purchase way too many books, with Amish lady wearing a bonnet on the cover books. (Is it Amish porn?)
