    As someone that has read the books but not watched the show…

    For books 7-9, I think of them as an epilogue trilogy. The time jump, the overall ending at the end of book 9, the state of the characters… Basically all of it fills the same purpose that a traditional epilogue fills. It just tells an entire story in the process of doing so and needs 1200-1500 pages.

      Yeah, that makes sense. I’m in the process of re-reading the whole series now. Currently on book 3, will take another crack at 7-9 once I read that far.
