What better way to disappoint fans than to tell them their much awaited book is still not available before its hit TV version will resume on April? GoT fans were enraged when its author and creator George R.R. Martin announced he missed two deadlines in 2015, moving the release date of Winds of Winter beyond the entire next season of the Game of Thrones TV series.
The Christian Post wrote the author confirmed Game of Thrones Season 6 will have to air even without Winds of Winter. This news not only disappointed fans, but raised some alarms of spoilers ahead as some major plots for the sixth novel have already been revealed in the Season 5 episodes. With the season 6 to air in April, fans are concerned that the latest book will no longer hold much surprise.
George. R. R. Martin responded to this and said "You might prefer one over the other, but you can still enjoy the hell out of both." He referred to his own experience on watching "The Martian" and "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell" before he read the books to where the movies were adapted from.
Parent Herald wrote that the books are already widely successful, but became mega famous when it was adapted to a TV series.
"I still thought I could do it ... but the days and weeks flew by faster than the pile of pages grew, and (as I often do) I grew unhappy with some of the choices I'd made and began to revise," he wrote in his blogpost.
Slash Film has reported that Martin has not given an official release date. "I can't tell you when it will be done, or when it will be published. I am not going to set another deadline for myself to trip over."
While fans could cuss and thrash Martin for this, there's no else on earth who's more heartbroken about the missed deadline than the author himself who is in tremendous amount of pressure to deliver a good book before its adapted series airs.
