George R.R. Martin Just Revealed HBO’s Abandoned Plan to Solve a ‘Game of Thrones’ Mystery

For all its early excellence, the latter seasons of Game of Thrones left a lot to be desired. Even before that — but there’s no telling if he’ll ever have time to revive a Braavos spin-off or transform it into a novel. Still, Winds of Winter will actually pick up just before the events of Game of Thrones Season 6, and it could take Arya’s journey through Braavos in a different direction. That means Martin can still fix the series’ botched Braavos arc, even if he never gets around to a story focused entirely on the region and the Faceless Men. All fans really have to do is wait and hope that his infamous novel actually sees the light of day.
