The anticipation for The Winds of Winter remains high despite the very fact that the book has been delayed many times over. Many fans have been patiently waiting for the release of the sixth A Song of Ice and Fire book. However, George R.R. Martin has kept mum on the details of the imminent new tome up to this writing.
The good thing is, avid followers of epic fantasy novel series could get some good news any time soon because George R.R. Martin would be attending the TitanCon 2019 as a guest of honor. Because of this, some fans could not help but speculate that the 70-year-old American writer could have completed writing The Winds of Winter already.
There are even theories that George R.R. Martin might announce the official release date of The Winds of Winter novel at the above-mentioned event. This prediction could be based on the previous announcement of the veteran novelist, who claimed that the second to the last book of the famous A Song of Ice and Fire could arrive in early 2019.
Most fans can recall that George R.R. Martin gave a hint on the official release date of upcoming new novel. At the time, the writer said he could not solely focus on The Winds of Winter since he was also working on a new tome that tackles the fake histories of the Targaryen kings.
"Whether WINDS or the first volume of FIRE AND BLOOD will be the first to hit the bookstores is hard to say at this juncture, but I do think you will have a Westeros book from me in 2018... and who knows, maybe two. A boy can dream..." George R.R. Martin wrote on his LiveJournal blog. The Winds of Winter author has also been writing the scripts for the imminent five Game of Thrones spinoff.
While these speculations could be true, it is important to note that nothing is confirmed up to this writing. Hence, avid followers of the A Song of Ice and Fire book series should take these unconfirmed reports about The Winds of Winter lightly until everything is proven true and correct.
Meanwhile, George R.R. Martin revealed that he does not have any regrets on anything that he has written despite the fact that things have become more complex now more than ever. Though The Winds of Winter author said that he doubts his capacity to complete things sometimes, his qualms never reflected in the materials he crafted.
"I see that before the book comes out, and I rip out that chapter or revise that chapter so something different happens instead, and it feels better - works better for me," George R.R. Martin stated. Stay tuned to Business Times China for the latest The Winds of Winter news and updates.
