"I met Nnedi a few years ago, and I'm a great admirer of her work. She's an exciting new talent in our field, with a unique voice," he said.
他說：“我與Nnedi在幾年前相識，我欣賞她的作品。她天賦過人，是作家中的一股清流。”Martin went on to say he will not be the show runner for the new series and is "doubtful" he will write any episodes. The author is still working on "The Winds of Winter" the sixth novel in the Game of Thrones series.
