George RR Martin, in 2014, on a throne (but no iron) - Tolga Akmen / REX / REX / SIPA

This is news that should delight the 80% (or even 90%) of Game of Thrones fans who did not like the end of the series. On his blog, George RR Martin confirmed that he had made steady progress in recent months in writing The Winds of Winter , the sixth volume of the saga, thanks in particular to the confinement he spent in the mountains.

"I spend long hours every day on The Winds of Winter , and I am constantly improving," he wrote. I finished a new chapter yesterday, another three days ago, and another the week before. But no, that doesn't mean the book will be finished tomorrow or published next week. This is going to be a huge book and there is still a long way to go. "

George RR Martin has been working on this sixth volume for several years, the last opus of the Iron Throne having been published in 2011 in its original version. While on his way to CoNZealand, his visit was canceled due to the coronavirus. "I will still be able to visit Wellington next year when I hope the Covid-19 and The Winds of Winter are finished," he said on his blog. So, this sixth volume, will it be (finally) for 2021?
