"The Winds of Winter" is now on its proofreading stage, based on the speculations of the enthusiasts. But before the news is confirmed or denied by George R.R. Martin himself, another news emerged that "Dreams of Spring" is also on the way and may come after "The Winds of Winter" is launched - even released simultaneously
It could be recalled that the fifth novel, titled "A Dance with Dragons," came out in 2011, which means that fans have been waiting for five years for "The Winds of Winter" to come out. It is believed that George R.R. Martin needs to catch up with the happenings in the novel as "Game of Thrones" has been giving spoilers of the upcoming book. This has apparently put pressure to George R.R. Martin as he felt the effects of the hit TV series to his novel.
For those who are still wondering why the "The Winds of Winter" has been delayed, some fans believe that aside from writing the anticipated novel, George R.R. Martin also has to exert effort in working on the storyline of the seventh installment, which is allegedly titled as "Dreams of Spring." Fans believe that the author will release the two books simultaneously or with a close time interval.
This has caused excitement from the fans as two novels will immediately be released, and their five years of waiting may be worth it after all. However, nothing has been confirmed yet and until now "The Winds of Winter" still has no release date.
As for the possible story of "Dreams of Spring," nothing is known yet. In fact, even the "Dreams of Spring" title is still a rumor. For now, it is safe to believe that "The Winds of Winter" is still in the works and will inevitably be announced soon.
What do you think is causing the delay of "The Winds of Winter?"
