Latest status on the development of "The Winds of Winter" has led to a conclusion that the sixth book of "A Song of Ice and Fire" novel will be released sometime in spring 2017 along with the prequel to "Game of Thrones." Avid fans of "ASOIAF" have long been waiting for the anticipated book "The Winds of Winter" for five years and counting and they felt that it was like forever.
George R.R. Martin's publisher confirmed that "The Winds of Winter" will have a delay. This delay is no longer a surprise to the fans. It has been said that the author of "The Winds of Winter" lost the manuscript he had worked on for years now. The report did not exactly give an official date of release but pointed out that Martin is still writing.
"The Winds of Winter" release date is expected to fall in the spring of 2017 together with the seventh book of "ASOIF," "A Dream of Spring". Fans, however, fear another delay of its release date now that the "The Winds of Winter" is said to be released alongside "A Dream of Spring", a prequel to "Game of Thrones."
Rumor mills have started to toil and overwhelm the cyberspace with speculations, as the book is now nearing towards its forthcoming release date. One of the popular predictions is that there would be less number of deaths in "The Winds of Winter," according to iDigital Times.
Wild speculations suggest that Daenerys, the only daughter and the youngest child of King Aerys II Targaryen, will go mad in "The Winds of Winter." The mother of dragons will reportedly lose her lucidness due to pressure and will soon be a "Mad Queen".
All the signs are pointing to Daenerys being the next successor to the Iron Throne. However, the accountability would be too tough and heavy for the new leader, Daenerys of "The Winds of Winter", that she will eventually burn down an entire city when she arrives in Westeros.
