There is no doubt that "Game of Thrones" is one of the most popular TV series today. In the same way, there is no other book that makes a buzz as loud as "The Winds of Winter" does. But did you know that things are conflicts between the "A Song of Ice and Fire" author George RR Martin and the "GoT" scribes David Benioff and Dan Weiss? Read to know more.
'The Winds of Winter' Author Vs. 'Game of Thrones' Scribes
George RR Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" novel series is a huge hit that it spawns a TV adaptation, "Game of Thrones." Although Martin is the original scribe, HBO also comes with their own writers for the TV series.
According to Crossmap, there was a point in time when the "The Winds of Winter" author and the "GoT" writers, David Benioff and Dan Weiss didn't agree. The duo disclosed that George RR Martin did not agree on everything they did but the "ASOIAF" scribe is "grown-up and gentle about it."
For those who felt that "GoT" will spoil "The Winds of Winter," Weis and Benioff assured that the book and the show are very different. Fans should expect major differences between "The Winds of Winter" and "Game of Thrones."
"The books and the series are so different now that I don't want to say anything that might give away something that he's going to do," Benioff and Weiss said teasing that "The Winds of Winter" and "A Dream of Spring" are unlikely to follow the events in "Game of Thrones."
Fans Decipher A Snippet From 'The Winds of Winter'
On a separate note, it is not surprising to find some fans who are so addicted to "The Winds of Winter" that they won't leave no stone unturned. According to Winter Is Coming, one "ASOIAF" reader by the name of BryndenBFish deciphered a new snippet from "The Winds of Winter."
A snapshot of "The Winds of Winter" author in front of his computer circulated online. The text in the computer is unreadable but BryndenBFish did some photo manipulation to enhance the text and extract potential "The Winds of Winter" spoilers.
Per the report, the snippet appears to be from the Asha chapter of "The Winds of Winter," which follows the Theon chapter. Some of the text in the said "TWOW" snippet includes, "The..., a pale [wolf?]...along...[some word like hadn't or couldn't... there's an apostrophe]...[italicized words], Asha knew. The old northman had fought..., .... Perhaps...[word with apostrophe]..."
