'Winds of Winter' Release Date & Update: Book Still NOT Available; GRRM Won't Give Clues But Will Announce When 'TWOW' Is Done

There is no doubt that George RR Martin's "The Winds of Winter" is the most wanted book today. The "A Song of Ice and Fire" fans have been waiting for the book for five years and counting. There have been several reports about the release date of "The Winds of Winter" but Martin never confirmed it. Learn about what Martin has to say about it.

Parent Herald previously reported that a placeholder for "The Winds of Winter" appeared on Amazon France. The post listed the date as March 9, 2017, which sent many "TWOW" fans into a frenzy because at last "The Winds of Winter" has a release date.

Unfortunately, we later learned that it was just a false alarm. The alleged release date and ISBN of "The Winds of Winter" are not true. This left the avid "ASOIAF" fans devastated once again.

Although we understand that everyone is wishing to get a copy of "The Winds of Winter," one should be cautious with the release date coming around unless George RR Martin, himself confirmed it.

According to George RR Martin on his blog two years ago, there will be no clues to decipher when "The Winds of Winter" is ready because he will announce it to his waiting fans directly. Martin added that the anticipated book will not be coming out in Christmas, Valentines Day or Lincoln's birthday. "The Winds of Winter" will be done on whatever day he finishes it.

So for those wishing for a surprise launch of "The Winds of Winter" that is unlikely to happen. As what some sources say, it is more beneficial to market the book than do big surprises.

Meanwhile, the editor already confirmed that "The Winds of Winter" will be delayed by just a few days. However, per Asiastarz, it remains unknown as to when it will see the light of day but one thing is certain, George RR Martin is still writing it.
