i hate to break it to you but Martin's books will probably be the same....and isn't that what ASOI&F is about and why people like it? That sometimes people (good or bad) die randomly but for seemingly no (good or bad) reason...i.e. just like the real world?
If you want a story that every villains got their due and every heroes got rewarded in the end, maybe Tolkien's will be the fitting story.
For me, i want to see Cersei sit on the throne while every stark children's dead by the end. But they probably won't be as they gotta think of the children audience.
Yes, you heard that right. I want to see the main bad guy win for a change instead of the typical heroes' triumph that's being perpetuating stories for MILLENNIAL.
Nah, I think you made a bad read.
The consistent theme of ASoI&F, as I analyze it, is that the winner isn't about good or evil, it's about who's
clever. The Starks constantly lose because they stick to the rules, and cheaters beat those who fight fair. Littlefinger was the entire personification of that, too.
Then you look at the show, and literally the
entire remaining cast is just the idiots. Arya and Varys are the only ones with any brains, and one has been given plot armor to where you know she'll never lose a fight, and the other had his central storyline removed from the entire show and has no motivation. But the rest of the cast? Cersei, Jon, Dany, Clegane, Euron, Sansa--they're all blockheads by ASoI&F standards; and Tyrion apparently had a lobotomy for his decision making after S4.
GRRM's play was never about good triumphing over evil. It was about wit triumphing over muscle.
