As late as August, he thought a deadline extension of two months would be sufficient. Four years later, and still no book. I'm under impression he was just given the deadline, not that he had such belief in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euron III Greyjoy Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 At one point it seemed more likely then ever that it was going to be out in 2016, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if it didn't come out in 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrés Garcia Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I've heard it will come out sometime next year. The sentence above is true every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1908 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 There's a new section in GRRM website titled "New Publication". Under it they simply state "Come back soon for information on future releases". Do you think it means anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Announcements of any substance will come from George first, without any teasers or pre-announcement marketing. They've burned themselves badly on that before, when a cryptic bit of marketing (around this time of year five years ago, if I remember correctly?) being interpreted as a countdown to a TWoW announcement. There was lots of backlash, and George himself said he'd make the announcement in plain text when the time came, without ifs or buts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRRM tried to do something light hearted and fun with some cool artwork counting down the twelve days of christmas. Fans blindly started declaring it was a countdown to the Winds of Winter announcement and then got bitchy when it wasn’t, despite nobody having ever said it was such a countdown.

George will not hint, he'll tell us once he have a date. Is it nothing? I don't think so. I think they are preparing for the announcement, so they're updating the website. It's not a hint from George by any means. Nor is it a hint from his publisher/staff. Just his publisher/staff gearing up for the announcement once he's done.

Looking at what's there, they'll probably announce another special edition of an already published book or an anthology of which GRRM is the editor.

Jay21 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 It's gone so far past ridiculous that it's a miracle that there's still an audience for Winds. And then we're going to do this all over again for DoS? SMH. I wish I never picked up the book Game of Thrones. I might have enjoyed the last 4 seasons of the TV show and I would have moved on to other things years ago. No matter how good Winds is, it's going to be over in a week or so and then right back to estimates and graphs and New Years mea culpas and on and on and on just so we can see Stannis actually burn Shireen and Bran crowned Bran the Broken and Jon killing Dany and whathaveyou. Yeah, I wish I never picked up Game of Thrones. Great book though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienarea Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Maybe GRRM is counting down to the release date of "Rise of Skywalker?" Just because. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a copy of it and was going to use it for my final re-read before Winds is published. After looking up some reviews, it appears the binding is the main issue. Well, now I know what to expect as I read it, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platypus Rex Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Well, New Years has come and gone, and no end-of-year update from GRRM. No news is bad news, I think. I am recalibrating my hopes for 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cas Stark Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 It doesn't feel like he's 3 months away from announcing that he sent Winds to the publisher. Maybe he was drunk when he wrote that post about the New Zealand event and having Winds out before it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
