They continued: “GRRM is a sci-fi/horror writer first and foremost, not historical fiction.
“If things seem ‘normal’ and ‘low magic’ so far in ASOIAF then you may have forgotten that Melisandre gave birth to a shadow that killed a man, Daenerys got molested by blue vampires in a haunted ruin centered around a floating blue human heart that emits pulses of indigo light, and people astrally project their souls (which are confirmed to exist in ADWD’s prologue btw) into animals and even unfortunate human beings frequently.
“But also, since GRRM is a horror writer you should think about ASOIAF as being like a good monster movie that you’re through the first two acts of.”
So what’s this fan’s prediction for The Winds of Winter?
