“What I have noticed more and more of late, however, is my gardening is taking me further and further away from the television series,” Martin writes. This also brings him to explain where he sees it growing now: Throughout the post he describes his writing process as something like gardening, tending to the story and seeing where it grows. Martin has said in the past that the ending of his book series will likely be quite different from the ending of the show, but he’s never said it so definitively and clearly as he did in this new post. The latest news comes from Martin’s Not A Blog website, where he said on Friday that the ending he sees for his books has shifted far away from the ending of HBO’s Game of Thrones series. Martin has offered his latest update on the next entry in his A Song of Ice and Fire series, The Winds of Winter. It's a brutal world, where no one can trust anyone.George R.R. The story is told through multiple perspectives, mostly though not exclusively members of one artistocractic family, the Starks. Across the sea, there is also a Mongol-style empire with horsemen living out on the grasslands. Different families vie for power-the 'game of thrones'-in a world of horses and knights, jousting tournaments, castles for the aristocracy and huts for the masses. The book is nearly 800 pages long and creates a world that is essentially medieval. The book achieved cult status, though Martin did not start hitting the bestseller lists until later in the series (In fact, Martin joked in an interview that at one book signing for A Game of Thrones, rather than attracting a crowd, he actually drove four customers out of the bookstore).
