Is G.R.R. Martin Preparing us for a Very Unhappy Ending?

Characters you like a lot will die. And some you were hoping would somehow reunite, let's say Sansa and Arya, will never find each other.
You know important characters have died every season. I expect about the same. Bitter sweet is very different than very unhappy. Suppose Dany dies in child birth, or Sansa, would that be sad enough for you -

His

no one is expecting a Happy Ending.

D&D have already said there will be a bittersweet ending. I have a feeling it's more bitter than sweet, TBH. I'll start preparing if I were you. I have a feeling that characters with magic will probably disappear in the end, and they include: Daenerys, Jon, Arya, and Bran. I have a feeling it will be Sansa and Tyrion who survive the end.

LOL Its a fantasy world using some history elements as background, backdrop..its not gonna be a facsimile leading to Elizabeth I.
Maybe all the dragons will die, or maybe they fly away to Ashai.
GRRM does not seem to have a great love for the Maesters either.
Magic is so great that Bran can just timetravel, wag into animals, means that magic will be a secret knowledge
And Queen Dany will ride off into the Folklore..

He also loves irony, man.
If it's true that the entire GoT lore is based on medieval history/ War of Roses, and magic represents the superstitions and the lack of scientific advancement during that era, then GRRM will surely kill magic at the end of his story to create a parallel world. How else could his world advance with all this magic? -

of course, who the heck wants to see Donald Trump denying global warming as an advancement in scientific development LOL
the Faceless Men have magic, the god of light will prove to be the bad guy

As to whether he'll kill magic, that would be too much like "Lord of the Rings".
Half the stuff in ASoFaI is there because it's the opposite of what Tolkien would do, and that includes magic returning to the world with the rebirth of the dragons, rather than leaving it like at the end of LOTR. Of course the magic may leave the world at the end of the whole shebang, dragons are the source of the magic returning to the world and three dragons isn't enough for a viable gene pool.

I liked Arya at first. On the surface she seems like a good fantasy character. I've been re-reading/listening to the audio book of ASOS and now I find her to be a willful child.
It won't be an unhappy ending, but it will be a bittersweet one. That could mean a lot of things.
