George R.R. Martin Says ‘The Winds Of Winter’ Might Be Released This Year

The author says he has made progress on the long-awaited fantasy novel, though not as much as he’d like

In a blog post he published this week, George R.R. Martin says that the sixth book in his fantasy series, “The Winds Of Winter” may finally be released this year.

In the years since, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss’ adaptation of Martin’s series has become a cultural phenomenon.

Another preview chapter showed us the continued scheming of Sansa Stark, who has taken a far different path than the one she travels in “Game of Thrones.”

Instead of being raped by Ramsay, Sansa has disguised herself as a bastard child named Alayne Stone and has learned the art of political cunning with the help of Littlefinger.
