This happened to one of Martin’s close friends, who was also a writer. They commissioned a Chronicles of Amber prequel series and boy was it terrible.
(The original author was Roger Zelazny, in case you were wondering)
As it stands, half of TWOW is already going to be focused on the stuff that was pushed out of ADWD, (the battle of ice, the battle of fire, cersei’s trial). I feel like George could just release that as a standalone shorter novel to feed me and my fellow hogs.
I think their is a 30% chance that TWOW comes out while George is alive. ADOS is 100% a ghostwritten book
He’s said he’d never sign it off to be finished by someone else like Wheel of Time
Sure but his estate may think differently when they’re handed comically large bags of cash by publishers a year after he croaks

Amber.
I didn’t know that, I was thinking of Garcia Marquez’s 100 Years of Solitude being made into a Netflix show many years after the author’s death
And I didn’t know about that. We both learned something today 😁
I feel like he’s planning to release them in rapid succession which is delaying TWOW but i also think he’ll die before accomplishing this goal
