There were probably people with terminal illnesses holding on so they could catch the finale of their most-beloved TV show, Game of Thrones, and who died horribly disappointed.

How the writers are still employable, let alone not in massive debt, astounds me. They single-handedly got one of the most successful shows, a show that people wouldn't shut up about and were hanging for each episode every week, and turned it into something to feel a bit embarrassed to admit liking. All the potential DVD/bluray sales - gone. All the merchandising - gone. The potential for spin-off shows - gone. HBO and their partners just watched millions in revenue disappear in one catastrophic season,and somehow D&D got away with it.
I did laugh when Disney told them their services weren't needed after all though.

I read the first book and had absolutely no fucking clue what was happening. Do they get better? I feel like I needed to be doing cocaine at the time.

I enjoyed them but as I recall it stays weird. I'm into that, though. My favorites are mostly pretty weird.
-
It could have been better, but I was OK with it. I didn't hate it like many people did; I just thought it could have been better.
-
What the fuck.
-
I like weird! Mind sharing your favorites?

I thankfully got lost on the plot sometime between S3 and S4, decided there was no possible chance for a satisfying ending and quit.

+1 for Sanderson. Just leave The stormlight archives for last because it's an ongoing series and might take a while to finish. He has plenty of other good material, though.
-
I had more, but there's a character limit or something. I got all the way to the beginning of Season 1 Episode 1.
-
My favorites for fiction would be Neal Stephenson,Roger Zelazny, Fritz Leiber, Ursula Le Guin, Stephen R. Donaldson, Charles Bukowski, Iain Banks, Frederick Pohl, Glen Cook, Jim Butcher

My guy was so disappointed he died. Rip

Yeah, thanks. I meant to reference it.

It's because they're not horror, and SK is known best for his horror. I do think he'd said, at one point, that TDT was the most meaningful series to him, and the fact that it forms an umbrella reality encompassing all of his other stories - sometimes featuring characters from his other novels, is significant.
That said, I'm not a King fan; I don't much care for horror, so his money making genre isn't very compelling for me. But I did get super-into The Dark Tower. It's up there among my favorite works, despite the ending.

Ups and downs; like I said, written over a dozen years, the styles vary, and there's some consensus that there are a couple which are "the best," and a couple which aren't. However, if you didn't like the first, it's probably fair to say you probably wouldn't much care for the rest.

The first one is mostly vibes. There's not a ton of good story meat in it, and it's pretty short. Book 2 really gets going though, and book 3 is just wild. Once you get to Wolves of the Calla, though, it's really gonna test your patience.

Lindsay summed up the theme of the final season so well in the thumbnail of one of her videos: "Dragon Lady Bad".
-
I hated the ending of GoT almost as much as I hated the ending of Mass Effect 3.
I still am not over that trainwreck.

It fell off the rails after season 3, you could argue everything after season 1 began a downward spiral.
