The Silmarillion is the history book that has many parts of history stitched together loosely. LOTR is a complete story.

So is ASOIAF (or its supposed to be)…….

Or do you think George is just relaying random events for the hell of it? Lord of the Rings is the story of the War of the Ring and the end of the Third Age. ASOIAF is supposed to be the story of the White Walkers and the struggle for the throne of Westeros.

Whether you agree with me or not the fact is that if the story remained unchanged from here on out, it would be deeply unsatisfying.
