Even The Witcher author Andrzej Sapkowski is giving George R.R. Martin a kicking over The Winds of Winter still being worked on 15 years after writing initially began on the sixth novel in the A Song of Ice and Fire series.
When asked at the Opole book festival (H/T Redanian Intelligence) about whether he plans to write more books in The Witcher series, Sapkowski replied, “I’ll tell you right now: I will write something else. Relax. No need to fear. And unlike George R. R. Martin, whom, by the way, I know personally, when I say I’ll write something, I will.”
While the personal connection between Martin and Sapkowski hints at a slightly more tongue-in-cheek tone than it reads on paper, The Witcher author does have his own theories as to why The Winds of Winter is still stuck in a seemingly perpetual limbo – and, of course, it involves Game of Thrones overtaking the original source material.
