Game Of Thrones' George R.R. Martin Hints At What's Still To Come In The Books

Right now that Game of Thrones has officially ended, fans can't stop talking about what might have been.


Some are distraught over what actually took place while in the series finale, and others were so incensed they began a petition to have the whole Season 8 remade. However there's one thing people forget about as soon as it comes to the Game of Thrones universe: the book series still isn't over.


Author George R.R. Martin is still working on completing the next book in the series, The Winds of Winter. Right after that, he's still got A Dream of Spring to tackle as well. Taking to his official blog with his thoughts on the fact right now that the fantasy series is currently over, he stressed "I'm still here, and I'm still busy." And needless to say, people hope to know how the books will end.


"How will it all end? I hear people asking," Martin wrote. "The same ending because the show? Different? Well...Yes. And no. And yes. And no. And yes. And no. And yes." Alrighty then, George.


Of course, he doesn't give several more specifics, in back of adding that some characters we never saw in the series could be around, and others who died in the show outlive on in the books.


"If nothing else, the readers will learn what happened to Jeyne Poole, Lady Stoneheart, Penny and her pig, Skahaz Shavepate, Arianne Martell, Darkstar, Victarion Greyjoy, Ser Garlan the Gallant, Aegon VI, along with a myriad of other characters both wonderful and small that viewers of the show never had the chance to meet. And yes, there will be unicorns...Of a sort..."


He also noted the "butterfly effect" will be felt while in the work, where changes made to the story will continue grow as keeps it up and continues to take shape. Yet naturally, in true Martin fashion, he still has no idea once The Winds of Winter is actually coming out.


"I won’t mention once, I’ve tried that before, only to burn you all and jinx myself...But I am going to finish it," the author insisted.


To be fair, Martin isn't only working on books. He's also spread thin working on new TV shows, short films, video game, along with a couple of other unnamed features. The man is probably hopping from one area of interest to another, and good storytelling takes time. So we'll give you that time, George, yet we're hoping those last few stories don't disappoint. We'll visualize our preference Game of Thrones characters again...Probably. At some point.
