Sadly, it sounds like we’ll have to wait for a least a couple more years to see how exactly the stories differ. While the HBO show went beyond the first five volumes in his A Song of Ice and Fire books, Martin has also said that much of what happens in The Winds of Winter will be “ quite different” from what we saw in the last two seasons of the television series. On the bright side, Martin did say that he wrote “ hundreds of pages” in 2020 while in pandemic lockdown, so maybe he’ll keep up that pace and finish sooner than Colbert calculated. Martin conceded that those numbers were depressing, and we’re sure many fans would agree. “They all interweave, so I’m done with a couple of the characters - I got their whole story - but not others … it’s still going to take me awhile.”Ĭolbert did some quick math while talking to the author and said that if Martin continues at his current pace, it will be three more years before The Winds of Winter comes out.
“I’m done with some of the characters,” he said. Martin went on to estimate that he’s about three-quarters of the way done with The Winds of Winter, with some of the storylines completed. The longest books thus far - the third volume, Storm and Swords, and the fifth volume, A Dance With Dragons - run about 1,500 pages each. How big, you ask? According to Martin, The Winds of Winter will be bigger than the biggest books in A Song of Ice and Fire to date. “I think it's going to be a very big book.” "I am making progress with The Winds of Winter, but it's still not done yet,” Martin told Colbert when the host asked for a status update.
