Clear as mud

George R.R. Martin addressed the controversial ending of Game of Thrones on his blog recently, answering his fans' most urgent question: will the books end the same way as the show?

"Well… yes. And no. And yes. And no. And yes. And no. And yes."

I hope that cleared everything up for you, GoT readers! Also, at the rate Martin is working, I think you'd be better off waiting to ask the inevitable ghost writer his eventual estate hires in the (hopefully far, far distant) future to finish this series, because I'd give Martin pretty low odds of finishing it himself.
