You could be right, but from all the interviews I have seen with Martin I havent got the impression of any underlying niggles or regret. But then he seems like an easy going guy and the show has proved an amazing hit so he must be quite pleased its a high quality product. I know there are concerns he writes slowly but I doubt the showrunners will do a dramatic plot change without prior consultation, after all if they get him really riled he may just refuse to write more books.
I wish they could stop him Killing off my favorite characters tho
I am hoping The mountain is still alive, that Arya road trip was something else.
