The last update we got from GRRM was that it wouldn’t be out in time for Game of Thrones season 6, which ended months ago. So now we’re all sad again, because we still have no idea when we can expect book 6. To add on to that, UK publisher HarperCollins reportedly told one outlet that “nothing has been finalized regarding the publication or the date.” Once we have a publication date for The Winds of Winter, the world will know. Any on-sale dates currently listed online for the novel are incorrect. Entertainment Weekly approached GRRM’s publisher for confirmation and was issued the following statement from Random House (US):Īs his publisher, we support George RR Martin as he works hard to finish The Winds of Winter. Wrong series.) We’re ready for some news!Īs was to be expected, the date – and the listing – was just a false alarm. Martin has repeatedly said that any valid updates will be first announced on his blog. Never mind the fact that Amazon has used “placeholder” dates for ASOIAF novels in the past. (Don’t bother clicking the link it has since been taken down.) This sent shrewd fans into a tizzy, because we’ve not heard much about when we can expect Winds of Winter, and I think we’re all starting to go a little mad.

Amazon France seemed to have given us that long-awaited news…and then it got taken away.īasically, what happened is this: a listing for the sixth ASOIAF book went live on Amazon France earlier, giving an expected publication date of March, 2017. Fans of the epic fantasy series “A Song of Ice and Fire” – the basis for HBO’s ever popular Game of Thrones – have been waiting years for news on Winds of Winter, the sixth installment.
