According to recent reports, George RR Martin has already announced that he is still working on "A Song of Ice & Fire" and that the book is nowhere to be released anytime soon. In fact, latest update only indicates that the book may get pushed back even further. As the fans wait impatiently for the sixth book, "The Winds of Winter," to release, the recent information about its delay can only be heartbreaking for its fans. While Martin still didn't share release date information, he assures fans that it is his top priority to work on "Winds of Winter" plotline.
At the turn of 2016, the rumors were rife that the sixth novel in "A Song of Ice & Fire" series will release by the end of this year. However, now with only three more months to go, it doesn't seem like the book is coming anytime soon. In fact, to seal the delay, Martin's publishers have already debunked all rumors about the speculated release date, Entertainment Weekly reported.
The book enthusiasts are now anticipating March 2017 release, as the author previously stated that he is gearing to launch his book before "Game of Thrones" season 7 premiers next year. The publication also noted that Amazon France has already pegged its release as March 2017. However, the actual release date is yet to be confirmed by the author and its publishers.
Meanwhile, in another report, George RR Martin indicated that even when "Game of Thrones" showrunners will end the series in Season 8, he has enough fake history material to continue writing the epic drama of the seven kingdoms. Is Martin hinting at a potential spin-off the of the show?
While a spin-off is certainly a good news for some fans, there are many who want the famous author to first deliver his promise of "Winds of Winters." For now, there is no official release date for "TWOW" and the fans expect that it should likely hit the bookstalls sometime in 2017.
