'Winds of Winter' Release Date from George R.R. Martin in Works, No Plans to Write for 'Game of Thrones' Season 5
Author R.R. Martin has been working on his new book The Winds of Winter, which is set to be his next release in the A Song of Ice and Fire series.
The last book, A Dance with Dragons, covered less story than Martin intended, leaving out at least one planned large battle sequence and leaving several character threads ending in limbo. Martin intends to resolve these storylines "very early" in The Winds of Winter, saying "I'm going to open with the two big battles that I was building up to, the battle in the ice and the battle at Meereen-the battle of Slaver's Bay. And then take it from there."
A Victarion Greyjoy chapter will begin five minutes after the end of A Dance with Dragons, taking place on the eve of the Iron Islanders' surprise attack on the cities in Slaver's Bay. An Arianne Martell sample chapter that Martin released on his website showed her heading for Griffin's Roost to see the young boy who is calling himself Aegon.
Martin said in March 2012 that the final two novels will take readers farther north than any of the previous books, and that the Others will appear in the book.
Martin has always written one episode for "Game of Thrones" during each season up to this point, but will not be writing a script for season five, Vulture reported. He shared with Vulture about not writing a script for the upcoming season, "Not this year, no - once again because I have this book to finish."
He spoke with Mashable last year about blocking out fan expectations for his books sharing, "I try not to pay attention to any of that; 99% of my fans are fabulous. No book pleases everybody and no timetable pleases everybody. The fact that there are people looking forward to the book is a nice problem to have. It's all good."
There has been no release date set yet for Martin's upcoming book The Winds of Winter.
