reddit. r/asoiaf •. (Spoilers Extended) In a 2011 interview, George R.R. Martin comments on Robert refusing to intervene in Cersei and Ned's fight over Lady: "Robert doesn't like that kind of conflict. He likes conflict he can win with a warhammer. He doesn't like the kind of verbal argument, it drives him crazy." In this blog post George announced the publication date 4 months and 9 days before it happened. I would bet that when we get information on the Winds release date it will be 4 - 4.5 moths beforehand. From what you wrote this is a bit too fast for you. If I had to guess Winds will be released in 2024-2025. There's maybe a 50 percent chance he'll finish Winds of Winter, but there's about a 5 percent chance he'll ever finish A Dream of Spring, so really who cares. I love the books he has released but don't care one iota about Winds being released because I feel like it will only be more frustrating if he dies after giving us the penultimate book If I were to recommend someone books to read to scratch the itch left by no ASOIAF this is where I'd start: The Kingkiller Chronicle - Patrick Rothfuss. The Malazan Book of the Fallen - Steven Erikson. The Night Angel Trilogy - Brent Weeks. Mistborn - Brandon Sanderson. George R.R. Martin has been writing The Winds of Winter for 11 years. He's done making predictions about when he'll finish, but says he's "maybe" 3/4 done. After the credits roll, the view returns to George RR Martin sitting atop the iron throne. He turns to the camera and says, "hey viewers! Read more in The Winds of Winter, available December 1!" PRE-ORDER The Winds of Winter by George R.R. Martin!! Amazon.com. I saw this, and yelped in excitement. Then saw that it was ASOIAFCIRCLEJERK. Ass. When I thought of this I couldn't believe how simple it was. Yet, somehow it is the jerkiest of all. I can't imagine the anguish if this showed up in your browsing. George in 2019 - If I don't have the book next year, imprison me. George in 2020 - I wrote 100s and 100s of pages this year but still have 100s more to write. I hope 2021 will the year. Also George in 2022 - Finished a clutch of Cersei chapters. Now I am wrestling with Jaime and Brienne. I just don't understand what the fuck is happening with TWOW. i0gQ.
