Finally, based on George R. Another thing we got a little confirmation on, aside from the plot details, is the length of the book. The official page count has not been released, however, the author mentioned on several occasions that the last two books are shaping up to be quite long.
The most accurate guess we currently have regarding the length of the book is that it will be around pages long, but George R. Martin said that he would gladly add to the book if he finds it necessary after the draft has been finished.
As of the time of writing this article, the official date of release for Winds of Winter has not been announced yet. Most people speculate that the novel should be finished by the end of the year and released sometime around the middle of However, looking at his previous work we can conclude that there are no right guesses and the only person who could give the fans a correct estimate is George R.
Martin himself. Martin has previously written at an extremely fast speed. The author has expressed his disappointment that his trip to Wellington has been canceled, but he plans to return in if both The Winds of Winter and Covid are completed by then. However, the fact that he is working on his book again is excellent news. Given how anticipated this novel is, many fans may wonder how long has the author been working on this addition to the series.
Although there is no way of knowing exactly there are a few clues that could help us figure out the answer to this question. Martin's blog Not A Blog website, Martin confirmed he won't be finished with the book anytime soon. It sounds like the expectation of a satisfying conclusion to the series in addition to the toll of Covid has created an environment not well suited to completing the book.

Martin gave his fans explicit permission to lock him up in a cabin in White Island if he had not finished The Winds of Winter by July , when WordCon was supposed to take place. With the in-person event in New Zealand canceled due to the ongoing pandemic, Martin, who had given little indication of being closer to completing the sixth A Song of Ice and Fire book, seemingly escaped that fate. Little did we know that the imprisonment he jokingly suggested would become more than a joke.
In another blog post, published on June 23, , Martin admitted he is no stranger to the cabin fever that has plagued many of us since March. However, in his case, the first part of the phrase is quite literal. Over the years, many fans have yearned for Wind of Winter updates, wondering why Martin is taking so long to finish writing it.
In a turn of events, fans would never have been able to foretell a few months earlier, George R. Martin informed them that he was spending quarantine in an actual cabin… and it looks like something good might have come out of it. While reasonably tired of living in isolation, the year-old author mentioned that he is keeping a regular, if a bit dull routine and tries to stay healthy.
It looks like this might finally be paying off. With most distractions removed, and journeys abroad replaced by Zoom calls, Martin had plenty of time to spend with his characters. Arya Stark was also mentioned, and, as always, she intends to kill someone.
