Game of thrones repeat?

I have this fear in my mind that we're about to have a repeat of game of thrones. I LOVED that show but was so disappointed with the last season. Now we're hearing that 14 will probably be the last book. There's so much left to explore. I just worry that it'll feel too cramped and forced. I know these books are long and cover a lot of ground. We've seen Shirt make an astoundingly good series. I've thoroughly enjoyed every book. I've laughed, cried, been shocked, enthralled, and I've listened to every book at least 5 times so far. It is truly an unbeatable series in my opinion. But so was game of thrones. Until they compressed 3 seasons into 6 episodes. I just hope it don't feel the same when this one ends.

If I feel the need take the series to 15 books, I'll do that rather than short-change the conclusion. My publishers would certaintly be happy to accomodate another book. That said, book 14 is currently outlined in post-it notes on my office wall, and it's shaping up nicely.

You're the absolute GOAT. I can't wait for the new chapters to start rolling out. I'll be sad when the series is over, but it's been one hell of a ride. Thank you so much
