George R.R. Martin's "Winds of Winter" will again be delayed further and it's due to the author's busy schedule and many commitments. This reason, together with Martin's growing age, means that fans should just enjoy what they currently have for now, at least until the book is finally released.
According to Eric Fuchs of Fandom, Martin's growing age has already likely slowed down his pace when it comes to finishing a book. This reason, together with one more book to write after "Winds of Winter," is pointing to low odds that "A Song of Ice and Fire" will actually get finished.
Fuchs said that the book "A Dance With Dragons" already showed worrying signs about how the series will move forward. The book was full of cliffhangers and some of them are plots that kind of got stuck and were never able to go where they need to.
ASZ News reports that the reason for Martin's delay with "Winds of Winter" was due to his commitments and busy schedule. The author recently launched a Stagecoach Foundation.
He is also busy talking to HBO about another project of his work. Martin doesn't want to mention what was discussed, but fans are speculating that it's possibly another TV show adaptation of one of his books, similar to "Game of Thrones."
Speaking of the hit HBO original, the delay of "Winds of Winter" has also forced HBO to deviate away from Martin's story in "Game of Thrones." Fuchs said that seasons 4 and 5 felt dragging, as it seems they were designed to wait for the book to be released.
But when Martin announced the delay of the release, HBO moved forward with season 6 and was able to demolish some of the backlog storylines in the series. And with "Game of Thrones" already moving forward, Fuchs said fans should appreciate the series.
There's a big possibility that the conclusion to "Game of Thrones" could very well be the conclusion that fans will see with "A Song of Ice and Fire," especially since there's no sign that "Winds of Winter" is coming anytime soon. For now, check out the trailer for season 7 of HBO's hit series, that was based on Martin's work.
