George R.R. Martin has been weaving his A Song of Ice and Fire saga since 1996, yet the final two books remain incomplete. The Winds of Winter, the highly anticipated next entry, has been in progress for over a decade. While fans eagerly await its release, Martin’s latest update suggests that the wait might not be over anytime soon.

  • The Winds of Winter remains unfinished after over a decade.
  • He denied rumors about its completion on his blog.
  • Many expressed disappointment on social media.

The Winds of Winter completion isn’t anytime soon

George R.R. Martin is aware that every time he makes an announcement, fans hope it is about The Winds of Winter. That is why he had to clarify on his blog, Not a Blog, that his recent post is about a different kind of ‘Winds’. He wrote:

“Something else is going to be happening on April 8 as well. (Or maybe on April 9). No, I am not announcing the completion of THE WINDS OF WINTER, the sixth volume of A SONG OF ICE & FIRE. Please don’t start any rumors to that effect. I am so tired of having to issue denials every time some offhand comment of mine, most having nothing to do with WINDS, somehow convinces half the internet that the book is imminent. It’s not. No. (Maybe I need to stop making offhand comments)

So calm down. (Until April 8, anyway. Then you can get excited all over again, but for an entirely different reason.

The third season of DARK WINDS, based on Tony Hillerman’s classic tales of Navajo detectives Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee, made its debut on AMC and AMC+ on March 9, to strong ratings and even stronger reviews. One critic said it’s past time to give Zahn McClarnon an Emmy. I can only agree.”

Fans are tired of The Winds of Winter delay

Martin has repeatedly assured fans that he is still writing The Winds of Winter. But they’re tired of his teases, and it is very evident from social media posts after the author’s announcement went viral. Here are some of the reactions:
