George R. R. Martin has given an update on The W𝄹inds of Winter – and it sounds like the next A ꦬSong of Ice and Fire novel is no closer to being finished. 

The book is set to be the next installment in the long-running series from which HBO's Game of Thrones was adapted – the show eventually overtook the books, so fans are understandably anxious to see how Martin's intended version of events play out (especially considering how controversial 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Game of Thrones season 8 turned out).

"I have like 1,100 pages written but I still have hundreds more pages to go," he added. "It's a big mother of a book for whatever ♐reason. Maybe I should've started writing smaller books when I began this, but it's tough. That's the main thing that dominates most of my working life."

The author revealed that he has written 1,100 pages of the novel, which sounds prom🌸ising until you realize that's how many pages🍨 he had written in December 2022 – so almost a full year ago (last year, he said on the that he had around 1,100 to 1,200 pages written). Gulp. 

Of course, there's always a chance that those pages have changed over the course of the year, meaning Martin has in fact made progre﷽ss, but that remains to be seen. 

For everyone eager to get back to Westeros, though, the good news is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:House of the Dragon season 2 is on the way. The show was able to continue filming amid the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:WGA writers' strike and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SAG-AFTRA actors' strike, but still does🔯n't have a firm release date just yet. 

Martin wrote several Game of Thrones episodes, and, earlier🍰 this year, he revealed which ones he's especially proud of. "I scripted four. And yes, 'Blackwater' is my own favorite of those, although I thought 'The Lion and The Rose' turned out very well, too an🌞d I have a soft spot for that one," he wrote on his website. 

House of the Dragon season 2 is expected to release in summer 2024. While you wait, check out our guide to all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Netflix shows to fill out your watchlist.
