Apologies for the slightly off-topic post…

It’s not looking good, folks…

George R R Martin confirms he hasn’t written anything for the 2 remaining A Song Of Ice And Fire books since 2022.

He wishes that they were finished.

The last published book in the series, A Dance With Dragons, was published in July 2011, now 13 years ago.

Obligatory song that’s now 12 years old… https://youtu.be/j7lp3RhzfgI

    Or better yet… The pagecount on the next book is somewhere around 1,100 pages at last count which is more than enough to publish.

    Find a natural breaking point around 700 or 800 pages, go to print and reset the clock.

    Then you’re already up 300-400 pages on the next book.

      I’m fairly certain that the last two books will be published close together. Grrm is well known for writing a chapter and then pushing it to the next book.
