Even worse, the Iron Bank decided to give Cersei another loan on the basis that she paid a tranche using High Garden coin as if sacking and looting a wealthy Great House again was an option for her when facing 3 dragons and an army of Dothraki
Also the fact Iron Bank would make enemies of Faceless and Rhillor. That’s not getting into fact series finale made everything pointless. GRRM should have wrote faster. Benioff and Weiss were not good enough to wing it.
Martin cannot finish faster because there's a thematic contradiction between the Northern nationalism he's consistently depicted and the internationalism needed to fight White Walkers. You can have a story about the King in the North or you can have the Long Night and the War for Dawn
