Okay, not happy in the moment, but it was supposed to be. I’m still mad about it. Of all the shows I’ve re-marathoned, I’ve never even been tempted to redo GoT. It was like S8 was so bad it went back in time and ruined the entire rest of the show. I can’t even entertain watching any spinoffs.
I may buy the rest of the series as novels (ha) but even then it will be with trepidation.
I read the books and liked them. They’re not especially well written, but they fulfill the same role as a mystery or Jodi picoult book- basically beach reads with awesome world building. If the world itself is kind of ruined for you, there’s not a lot of point to reading them imo. You could always check at a local library though, so you don’t have to commit right away.
