'The Winds of Winter' Release Date, News Update: Book Now Being Proofread? Seventh Book Titled 'The Dream of Spring' In the Works?

Is "The Winds of Winter" finally on its proofreading stage? News surfaced that the sixth novel of George R. R. Martin for the "A Song of Ice and Fire" is already in its final stage and will be released soon after.

Avid readers of "A Song of Ice and Fire" have been waiting in vain for the upcoming "The Winds of Winter" novel, which is said to be the sixth and final book George R. R. Martin is releasing. The prequel, "A Dance with Dragons" hit the shelves five years ago, which is why the anticipation for "TWOW" is reasonable.

The lack of updates regarding the novel has got the fans worried that a delay may happen soon. In fact, previous rumors claim that George R.R. Martin decided to cancel the publication of the novel following the loss of Hillary Clinton during the US Presidential Election. Some say "The Winds of Winter" is only delayed due to the "slow writing" of the critically acclaimed novelist.

Recent news states that George R. R. Martin has more things to consider with "The Winds of Winter," especially since the prequel was published way back in 2011. This sparked another rumor that the anticipated novel is not the last book after all. A seventh book is said to be considered and will be titled "The Dream of Spring."

 Fans of both "The Winds of Winter" and "Game of Thrones" were previously reported to have been planning to boycott the show if the novel is to be delayed again. George R. R. Martin's announcement of the delay has indicated that the sales of the book may not be as strong as the prequel due to the boycott possibility.

Despite this, numerous spoilers have already surfaced. Tragic plots are said to be featured in the book, especially with Daenerys Targaryen dragons. It is believed that the "The Winds of Winter" will not feature Daenerys as the conqueror and ruler, according to iDigital Times. However, this has to be confirmed by George R. R. Martin himself.

What do you think is the reason why George R. R. Martin need to talk time in writing "The Winds of Winter?"
