He also explained on his Live Journal why he prefers Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. Unfortunately for the writers, the majority of the Americans do not share his views and it is very evident with Trump’s political victory.
Despite the wild rumors, fans and readers are still confident that there is really going to be a “The Winds of Winter” to come out in the book shelves sooner or later.
They cannot just determine when it is going to happen. “The Winds of Winter” has been rumored to come out way back in October 2015 and was previously reported to come out before Season 6 of the HBO hit series “Game of Thrones” but that did not happen.
Subsequently, it has been speculated that it would come out before the Season 7 of “Game of Thrones” premieres on HBO in the summer of next year.
However, analysts predict that releasing “The Winds of Winter” before Season 7 shall either provide the ultimate spoilers to the last two seasons of “Game of Thrones” or just alienate the fans of the TV series especially if it’s true that the TV series has indeed deviated big time from the books.
It could also be a coordinated strategy between George Martin and the producers of “Game of Thrones” since the TV series has already overtaken the book and it’s no use for the book to muddle the issue further.
