[Spoilers] The end of A Song of Ice and Fire

I think at this point in time anyone who is a fan of the series needs to come to peace with the fact that we already may have our ending. With the numerous projects that G.R.R. Martin is working, all of his unfulfilled promised deadlines, and just the loss of interest in the material I find it hard to believe that we will ever see an end to this series of books.

This being said what does this mean with the ending we are left with? I think that the story for most of the characters could leave for an ambiguous ending, if not a total ending. John Snows character arc could be considered complete, fitting the classic tragic hero archetype. A man is battling to have two peoples come together, having his dreams come to fruition only to be killed by the men he considers brothers. Dani being a satire of the "chosen one," someone who would really just fly off with her dragons because the reality of the world cannot handle her ideals.

I just want to consider what the story has to say if this is the end of the story we are actually gonna get.
