Based from recent reports, Winds of Winter will be released on 2016. Well, for some this is a bad news considering that there were hearsays that the book will be unveiled this year. But you have to understand that George R.R. Martin is a self-confessed slow writer and even if he was able to cancel all his major obligations this year, finishing the book is highly unlikely to happen in the next couple of months.
It was believed that George R.R. Martin is serious in completing the highly-anticipated book, Winds of Winter. Apart from missing two big conventions, he is said to be turning down interviews. Readers are obviously getting a bit impatient. But we are sure they will calm down once the book hit the shelves. The author's works, while very slow, are always above our expectation. In other words, it will be worth the wait.
Before the release of Winds of Winter, the fans are satisfying their cravings by watching Game of Thrones in HBO. According to one source, there will be two different stories revolving the same characters. After all, we have the version from the show's writers and then we have George R.R. Martin who is still trying to finish the book. We just have to wait and see which one is better. But by the looks of it, the TV series isn't disappointing. The new season had a great start if you ask the fans.
Those who are die-hard fans of the book might not see this 'deviation' of the TV series appealing. But come to think of it, having multiple stories can be great. And we are pretty sure that Game of Thrones TV series have consulted George R.R. Martin about their own plot. There will be differences in sub-plots and minor stories, but the explosive twists will be likely the same.
