As for comparing Martin to Tolkien, yeah it's definitely not for the short attention span. Martin's work is so dense it has spawned an entire youtube subculture of content creators trying to string together predictions from the thousands of clues Martin embeds to misdirect the reader. Tolkien was a christian and presented a stratified world where good and evil were racial characteristics. Martin is an atheist who presents a much more bleak view of the human condition where morality is far more ambiguous. In his other work, Martin has made clear that he set out to deconstruct Tolkien's simplistic views of morality. | |||
