I doubt it’ll be out in 2023, either, but perhaps we can dare to hope. Perhaps the final fourth will come quicker than the first three, but however fast he writes, there’s no way he finishes by the end of this year.

The fact that he’s been talking so openly about it more recently may bode well. Martin has never stopped making progress on the book over the years, but that progress has been agonizingly slow. It hasn’t been seen since, but if it finally turns up in Winds of Winter, Jon Snow just might become King in the North and a real Stark at the same time. A Dance with Dragons and A Storm of Swords are the two largest books of the series, they were about 1,500 manuscript pages, I think this one is going to be longer than that by the time I finish it.”Īnd I think I’m about 3/4 of the way done maybe, but that’s not 100% done so I have to continue to work on it. It’s probably going to be a larger book than any of the previous volumes in the series. “I’ve said that before, it’s a challenging book. “It’s a big, big book,” Martin recently said of The Winds of Winter. In an April 2011 interview with The Guardian, Martin predicts he will complete The Winds of Winter in about three. Martin is “three quarters of the way done” with The Winds of Winter April 2011: Martin predicts 'The Winds of Winter' will take 3 years to finish. So is The Winds of Winter on the horizon? Martin is closer to finishing that he’s ever been, but there’s still no end in sight for the wait. The last book in the series, A Dance With Dragons, hit book shelves in 2011, over a decade ago. While Martin has put out five books in the series so far, he still at least two more to go, and the sixth has been an extremely long time in coming. Game of Thrones is based on A Song of Ice and Fire, but it only got through five or so seasons before it ran out of source material. Martin’s long-in-coming new book The Winds of Winter, the upcoming sixth installment in his A Song of Ice and Fire series. It seems as good a time as any to check in on George R.R. We have been hearing about the TWOW launch date for years and every time it gets delayed. Thanks to HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel show House of the Dragon, people are talking about Westeros again. The Winds of Winter release date is currently reported as late 2022 by some experts, but then again nothing is fixed about the book launch.
