Florian, thanks. That's the feedback I am looking for. Please go ahead and take all the wind out of my sails. It seems that every time I get going full of confidence that I need to learn to slow down and be humble.

The broad characterizations of gardeners and architects are easily understandable. Yet, all analogies have a limit, so I must point out that GRRM is not planting unknown seeds... I mean he's not expecting an acorn to become a cornstalk. That's not a crack at you... I'm not a writer, I'm just a self-appointed critic. It's very difficult to fathom that Martin does not have a concrete grasp on the ending... I suspect that even if he told me face to face that I would not believe him.

Thanks again. Perhaps Raven will still stop in to enlighten me further.
