Any chance the new book comes out before the next season? or before the tv show finishes? or before grrm dies?

Before next season? 0.01%

Then, of course, there will be yet another wait for the final book.

I'd say there is a 90% chance the book comes out before the start of next season.

 

[mickelboy182]

Definitely a chance it comes out before next season.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Any chance this series is ever finished? I want to re-read the series but don't want to bother until I know the next book is coming out

Yes.

"A Dream of Spring"

























~ by Benioff & Weiss, 2029

GRRM hasn't died he's just been locked inside of a storage closet in a San Diego conventional hall.

The book is 90 pages long and mostly serves to conclude Jon and Dany's storylines. They get married, Tyrion is best man, everybody else is presumed dead. The epilogue is from Gendry's POV as he has a steamy affair with the Sand Snakes, setting up a spin-off series off erotic short novels set on Dorne.

Sadly the second option is the least likely

Sanderson did a really good job of wrapping it up, given how many convoluted threads Jordan left behind. The last couple of books Jordan wrote basically went nowhere, due to the sheer number of characters and threads he'd generated. Arguably, his passing was the best thing to happen in the later part of the series.

True, however I'd say is Sanderson did a very poor Mat Cauthon

God i need a book

He also did next to no Faile.

Thank heck for that.

Also what happened to Siuan and Gareth.

Though according to Sanderson, Jordan had waaaay more deaths planned for TLB.

Book 10 went nowhere. Book 11 moved things along quite a bit though. Certainly I wish GRRM would get a move on. It's 50/50 at best he'll live to finish the series. The way Winds of Winter is now likely 2019 at earliest, it wouldn't surprise me if he has a heart attack before that's out.

He's publishing other stuff that isn't Winds of Winter. IMO I just don't think he's that interested in it anymore. He's packed them with so many dangling threads, that it's gotten hard to tie everything up neatly.

First admission recently that he might not finish the series.

He compared it to other unfinished written works.


I think he may actually NOT want to finish them.

Starting to think I can live with this now.

Hes taken to long now. I'm not reading the series again as a catch up

the last estimate i saw they reckon at his current pace he wouldn't finish book 7 until the end of 2027. The guy is a fat slob who smokes and is currently nearly 70. If people think he going to be writing full steam ahead in his late 70s are kidding themselves.

If there was a market i would be putting money on him not finishing them.

If i was picking an author to finish them up for him, i'd go with Joe Abercombie.
