In order to be a good writer you sometimes have to make tough decisions. Being true to the story is more important than making readers happy. All 7 surviving is completely unrealistic, even in the world of gods and magic. Rick showed in this last book he is capable of making difficult/controversial choices. I am hoping he does it again.
