Fans of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series finally have a reason to celebrate. George R.R. Martin's highly anticipated sixth novel "The Winds of Winter" might finally be released by 2017. Should everyone believe the recent announcement of the book's release date? Or is it just another hoax to keep fans interested in the 'ASOIAF' series?
'The Winds Of Winter' Release Date Revealed By Amazon France
People recently went crazy when a rumored ISBN number for "The Winds of Winter" was revealed. According to Wiki of Thrones, the ISBN number was registered for George R.R. Martin's novel and appears to be associated with Penguin Random House. The report goes on to suggest that the number might be set aside for a possible illustrated version of the "ASOIAF" novel and that it doesn't necessarily mean that "TWOW" will be published soon. However, another report seems to have found an actual release date.
It looks like Amazon France has made a page for "The Winds of Winter" in preparation for the novel's release date. Amazon FR revealed that George R.R. Martin's new book will be available in March 2017. The site is also currently accepting pre-orders for the sixth "ASOIAF" novel. This certainly sounds like "TWOW" will finally be published as promised in early 2017.
Unfortunately, a quick look at the Amazon FR page reveals that they have removed "The Winds of Winter" release date. However, The Grumpy Fish has taken a screenshot of the page that shows that the book will be available in March (to view, click here). Although some fans are still skeptical, the news does offer hope that George R.R. Martin may have finally completed the novel's draft and has passed it on to publishers. Hopefully, "TWOW" will be ready for publication by the end of 2016.
According to Amazon FR, "The Winds of Winter" release date is March 9, 2017. The website is currently accepting pre-orders for George R.R. Martin's sixth "ASOIAF" book.
