The end of the "Game of Thrones" series split fans.
It will soon become clear whether George RR Martin will do better with his next book.
In 2019 the last season of the series "Game of Thrones" was released.
Author George RR Martin, however, has not yet finished his "A Song of Ice and Fire" saga.
The next book could appear soon, however.
In 1996 author
George RR Martin published
the first book of his fantasy saga
"A Song of Ice and Fire"
.
Since then, a total of five novels have been published that
tell
a continuous story about power struggles and political intrigues in the fictional, medieval-themed world of
"Westeros"
.
The complex story with its many protagonists convinced countless readers.
A few years later, producers
David Benioff and DB Weiss
finally
adapted the
story for HBO: the series "Game of Thrones" * was born.
+++ Beware, there will be spoilers for the 8th season of "Game of Thrones" +++
"Game of Thrones": Series finale disappointed many fans
George RR Martin
announced some time ago that he would write two more books with which he would like to finally close the story. The series, however, ended in 2019. Although the first seasons were praised by many viewers
, not everyone was enthusiastic about the 8th season
. For example, the character development of the main character
Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke)
, who turned into an antagonist within a very short time, was
criticized
. Since this change happened very quickly, not every fan finds it conclusive.
Another point of criticism
: The great fight against the
white walkers
was completed in one episode.
For a long time, the undead were considered the greatest enemy of the living.
It seemed all the stranger to many that the battle of Winterfell was decided in a short space of time.

Corona crisis
, he is making good progress, in the last few days he has even completed
three chapters
.
However, Martin does not want to make a forecast as to when the book will actually appear.
