That brings us to The Winds of Winter, which was originally planned as the final volume of the series. Instead, we got A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons, which covered events happening concurrently in different parts of Martin’s sprawling world. The author had planned to have a five-year gap between A Storm of Swords and the following volume, but after spending several years writing it he decided it didn’t work. However, it wasn’t until Martin was deep into the writing on the next book, A Feast for Crows, that the series evolved into its current format. A Storm of Swords seemingly ended that part of the story, bringing both readers and Martin into the middle of his saga, but by then it had become abundantly clear that this was going to be a much longer series than originally planned. The first of the proposed books in the trilogy, A Game of Thrones, ended up expanding into three books on its own. However, the “tale grew in the telling,” as Tolkien would say. In his original pitch to publisher Bantam, Martin envisioned A Song of Ice and Fire as a trilogy. A Dream of Spring will be the final Game of Thrones book Martin has been pretty open about his plans for A Song of Ice and Fire, so as things stand we have a solid answer: The Winds of Winter is the penultimate novel in the sequence, not the final one. Now it’s been 11 years, and the ending of A Song of Ice and Fire eludes us still.īut how many books does Martin have planned for this series? Is The Winds of Winter the last Game of Thrones book?
