George RR Martin, the author of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" novels said in one of his comments that the sixth book of the novel, "Winds of Winter" will be out this year. This news is enough to make fans excited, along with the approaching premier of Game of Thrones season 7. But don't get too excited...yet.

"Winds of Winter", the sixth book of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series is said to be the most important book of the series. Fans are expecting a lot of twist and turns and key plots from this book, which is believed to be the second to the last book of the series. The last book is said to be "A Dream of Spring".

For six years, fans have been waiting for the release of the book. The last book "A Dance With Dragons" which was published way back in 2011 is considered to be the most latest update until recently. Martin gave "updates" when he responded to a fan who wrote a comment on his blog post in Live Journal.

Google+ user J Snow commented on the entry "Doom, Despair Defeat" that if Martin does not want to be pestered with messages from fans about the book release, Martin would at least make some "updates" even if it's just  "not done yet, but I've made progress(or not).

"Not done yet, but I've made progress. But not as much as I hoped a year ago, when I thought to be done by now. I think it will be out this year. (But hey, I thought the same thing last year)."

As per Telegraph, even when Winds of Winter is released this year, the TV series has already overtaken those events from the book and with that; no one really knows what would be the next events for the TV series and either the book. Martin has been cooperating with Game of Thrones' producers to guide their path to the plots that will happen to the books. Both parties might find it hard to compromise because some of the characters who are alive in the TV series have been killed in the book and vice versa.

Albeit this is only a small update, it is enough to rekindle the flame of excitements for the fans of the books. Will this year be the year the most awaited Martin book is released? Let's wait for, hopefully, more updates.
