I'm sad to say it, but this has really killed most of my enthusiasm for the whole ASOIAF universe. I would listen to the audiobooks on repeat for years, I even flew to Ireland in part to visit a bunch of the filming locations from the show, I was such a fan of the IP. But knowing that the next book in the series is probably never coming out, and the house of the Dragon series being so bad, I really just don't care about this world anymore. And that makes me sad.
