He writes a damn thesis explaining himself, classically not making excuses while making excuses. Almost flippantly throwing in all the extracaricular activities that have distracted him. Like a wedding. A wedding!? That's a weekend out of 6 ****ing years!
Maybe I am being unfair. I probably am. But I know this with every fiber of my being...I don't care how unaware I am of the difficulties of being a writer in his unique situation, NEVER under any circumstances would I let down my long-time readers like this. NEVER would outside popularity take my attention over my loyalty to them. I am not talking about me, **** readers like me. I read all the books in a 2 month stretch, I didn't wait 20 flipping years. To me, all the excuses and realities aside, he failed the people that made his dream come true and made him rich and famous.

While that is a bit stronger than where I'm at with it, I'm definitely disappointed. Though in reality, even if he had got this one out ahead of next season, there was no chance he would've concluded before the series.
If the show didn't exist, I probably wouldn't even care. i picked up the books sometime before Feast came out, so it's been 10 years or so for me. I'm really only worried about avoiding spoilers at this point with how ubiquitous the show has become.
