George R.R. Martin Shares Rare Update on 'The Winds of Winter'

The long-awaited sixth book in the 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series remains incomplete, with the author expressing frustration over its slow progress.

George R.R. Martin stated in a recent interview that 'The Winds of Winter' is progressing well but admitted he wishes it would be completed faster.
The book, initially expected in 2015, has faced multiple delays, leaving fans waiting over a decade since the release of 'A Dance with Dragons' in 2011.
Martin emphasized that the books are entirely under his control, unlike adaptations, and reiterated his commitment to finishing the series.
The author has been involved in various side projects, including 'House of the Dragon,' 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,' and contributions to the video game 'Elden Ring.'
Despite ongoing delays, Martin remains optimistic about completing 'The Winds of Winter,' though no release date has been confirmed.
