In addition to saying that The Winds of Winter is almost done, Martin reveals that he anticipates it to be the longest book in the series. That’s undoubtedly the most thrilling part of his discussion but if you listen closely, there is also another bit of disconcerting information contained within it. Providing a percentage update is unusual for Martin and it represents our strongest signal yet that The Winds of Winter could actually one day exist. And sometimes what he thought was an apple seed will somehow transform into a pumpkin, changing his entire plan for the “garden.”ģ/4 done with Winds of Winter. Sometimes an apple will wither on the vine and become nothing. Martin has long described himself as a “gardener” style of writer, meaning he plants several ideas, cultivates them as best he can, and then discovers what blooms. Naturally, this has led to some moments of fan frustration, particularly since Martin is not very good at judging his own writing progress. Martin has been wrestling with his fantasy series’ sixth and penultimate installment, The Winds of Winter, for over a decade now. And now, three years after Thrones, say it with me: only five books have been written. By the time the entire series concluded in 2019…five books had been written. After the first season of Thrones concluded in mid-2011, five books in that series had been written. Game of Thrones was based on a series of books called “A Song of Ice and Fire” by George R.R. And with that time comes the resumption of an old question: “Hey, when is George gonna finish these books?”
Now that HBO’s House of the Dragon has wrapped its first season, a legion of Game of Thrones fans have some time on their hands.
