The Last Kingdom

[Lods]

Another question is who is going to finish the series now that Martin has had enough?  I can't blame him though; he's getting on, he's got more money than he knows what to do with, and the complicated plot was doing his head in.

I was looking forward to reading the next book and now I'll have to hope that someone else can bring Martin's story to a close while maintaining his style of storytelling.

As for GoT setting a trend for future TV shows, I think it will be the formula rather than the genre that is followed; intrigue, power, conflict, families, violence, sex and nudity

Where did you hear he wasn't going to finish the books?
As far as I've heard the Winds of Winter is due for release next year. ???
