of all the showrunners in the GOT/ASOAIF universe, ira parker is the one who respect george and his work the most, and it shows in the quality of AKOTSK. d&d respected him as well when they worked with him, i’m not saying otherwise, but the same cannot be said for condal (and hess).
condal has never been able to write good stories, let alone good characters, and it shows. take HOTD as a standout series, unrelated to the book, and you’ll notice how bad it is. it’s almost painful and cringe-worthy.
