I still feel that Robert Jordan broke faith with his audience when he decided to sell out in his third book and keep writing the same book over and over. The fan base would keep buying books, but without a conclusion it just gets stale. His first two books were brilliant, but I stopped reading at book six. He died almost twenty years after he started writing this thing, so someone else will have to finish the series for whoever is still reading it.
Some writers write for their agents instead of their readers. All they end up with is money. I'm not going to harass a writer, I'll just stop reading if I don't think they know where they're going.
I might question some of George Martin's artistic choices, but I do not doubt that they are artistic choices, not just commercial ones.
