'The Winds Of Winter' Release Date, News Updates: Sixth 'ASOIAF' From George R.R. Martin Releasing With 'A Dream Of Spring?’

"Game Of Thrones" author George R.R. Martin will release "The Winds Of Winter" with the final "A Song Of Ice And Fire" (ASOIF) novel, "A Dream Of Spring" if reports rings true. While George R.R. Martin fans believe the "Game Of Thrones" author will release "The Winds Of Winter" in 2017 at the earliest, "TWOW" with "A Dream Of Spring" will push delivery further down the line.

"The Winds Of Winter" and "A Dream Of Spring" are the sixth and seventh books, respectively, in the "ASOIF" saga by George R.R. Martin. Both "TWOW" and "A Dream Of Spring" are in a unique position in the "ASOIF" series in relation to the tv adaptation "Game Of Thrones."

 While the first five books of the "ASOIF" saga enjoyed being unspoiled by the "Game Of Thrones" series, the same cannot be said for "The Winds Of Winter and "A Dream Of Spring." As it is, "Game Of Thrones" is down to its last two seasons, which have been abbreviated to a final 13 episodes and are expected to reveal the main arc resolutions of the "ASOIF" series.

Buzz about "The Winds Of Winter" and "A Dream Of Spring" have been plenty, including cancellation and release theories on the last two "ASOIF" books. The most popular perception among George R.R. Martin fans being that "The Winds Of Winter" is delayed and is in danger of remaining unfinished.

An earlier report by The Independent cites theory by George R.R. Martin fans that "The Winds Of Winter" and a "Dream of Spring" will be released together. The media outlet references Reddit discussion where suppositions that surfaced proposed that George R.R. Martin may be writing "The Winds Of Winter" and a "Dream of Spring" simultaneously.

While this George R.R. Martin fan theory has merits, "The Winds Of Winter" will still more likely be released separately from "A Dream Of Spring." Would you prefer George R.R. Martin to release "The Winds Of Winter" and a "Dream Of Spring" back-to-back?
