Wait, Is This How The Game Of Thrones Books Will Actually End?

With Game of Thrones Season 8 in the rearview resemble, fans are looking forward to the day once creator George R.R. Martin finally continues the rest of his A Song of Ice and Fire book series.

Previously, the writer had taken to his blog to discuss potential endings for the saga, where he addressed the million dollar question: "How will it all end?"

According to actor Isaac Hempstead Wright, who portrayed Bran Stark, it looks like the books could just be being nearly same because the show's ending.

As it turns out, it seems the books could end, well, nearly same because the show did, with Bran on the Iron Throne (technically, since there really is no more Iron Throne).

“David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss] informed me there were two things George R.R. Martin had suggested for Bran, and that was the Hodor revelation, and that he could be king,” he told HBO in an interview running down his reaction to Bran becoming king and other facets of the finale.

“So that’s pretty special to be directly involved in something that is piece of George’s vision. It was a really nice way to wrap it up.”

As soon as Martin spoke about his ending, he mentioned something very specific in response to people asking about how things could wrap up.

"I hear people asking...The same ending because the show? Different? Well...Yes. And no. And yes. And no. And yes. And no. And yes," wrote Martin.

“I am working in a very different medium than David and Dan, never forget. They had six hours for this final season," continued Martin. "I expect these last two books of mine will fill 3,000 manuscript pages between them before I’m done...And if more pages and chapters and scenes are necessary, I’ll add them."

Wright's comments on Bran's ending seem to indicate that Martin has been planning for Bran to just be as king all along, which could forecast a similar conclusion for the books. Does this mean Wright just clued us in to what could really happen as soon as the books are finally available?

Unfortunately, it looks like we'll have to continue waiting patiently to see.
