While we all eagerly , nervously , nailbitingly wait the release of The Winds of Winter , the 6th Quran in A Song of Ice and Fire , rest assured that GRRM is writing plenty of Westeros - related cloth — just peradventure not as much on TWoW as you ’d like .
UK publisher HarperCollins says GRRM has writen 250,000 Logos on a Game of Thrones coffee table book , currently nicknamed “ The GRRM - arillion . ” The Quran actually sounds altogether awe-inspiring , in that it ’s a very comprehensive history of Westeros , in the pretext of a piece of work present to Robert Baratheon at once after he contract the Iron Throne . Here ’s the detailscourtesy of The Guardian :
Martin himself hasdescribed the bookas “ the concord … a compendium of the history and legends of the humanity of Westeros . A burnt umber table book , destiny of gorgeous art from such talents as Ted Nasmith , Justin Sweet , and others ” , and say last summertime that he was “ making good progress on this one of late , lots of large historic stuff that I think my proofreader will enjoy . Never - before revealed details of Aegon ’s Conquest , the War With the Faith , The Dance of the Dragons , the Paramours of Aegon the Unworthy , etc . ”
His Centennial State - author Elio M García , meanwhile , of the fan situation Westeros , said earlier this monththat the compendium “ wo n’t be out this year … but that ’s because it ’s becoming rather cool . More pages , more newfangled history and details , more art . Like the story of the fall of the Tarbecks and the Reynes , the surprising someone from whom the Lannisters are descended , more history of the Vale and the arriver of the Andals , and a good deal more . We ’re working quick as we can , but there ’s also more fine art to charge and that means it ’d be safe to aim for next yr . ”
And here ’s the money quote from Martin ’s publishing firm Jane Johnson , regarding the coffee table Christian Bible ’s project spillage in 2014 : “ [ it ’s ] more to do with exemplifying complications and global publication schedules than the writing , and I certainly would n’t want fans getting the impression that George is exercise on [ it ] at the disbursement of The Winds of Winter . ”
I do n’t know how anyone could get that belief . Actually , severely , he probably had a lot of this written in guild to visualise out the backstory even before he first wrote Game of Thrones ) . On the other hand , if he ’s been able-bodied to fall apart out 250,000 news on Westerosi story in just the past couple of years , then he should be able to finish The Winds of Winter right on clip , veracious ?
… correct ?
