I enjoyed the ASOIAF series but it's not really in the same league as, say, LotR in my opinion. It's like an edgelord discount version of LotR. With a bunch of sex and violence just for the sake of making it "gritty" and "dark" but really there's nothing special or new about the series that hasn't already been done to death in the (medieval) fantasy genre. That said, I agree with you that GRRM is probably never going to finish the series. I doubt he's even trying at this point, he sure seems unmotivated about it. Plus he's a fat fuck and probably one ill-placed cholesterol molecule away from a fatal heart attack or a stroke.
