George R.R. Martin's "Winds of Winter" is not hitting the shelves soon, but the author is making sure that everyone remains excited about the book. Recently, Martin has spilled some major spoilers about the book, which is spreading like wildfire online.
The book "A Song of Ice and Fire" is known for its crazy twists and turns. In "Winds of Winter," it will be the same case, so fans should expect that the book may start with something big. How big is it? Martin spilled the following to Entertainment Weekly.
"I think we're gonna start out with a big smash with the two enormous battles," Martin said. Avid readers of the book immediately predicted that these battles may involve Ramsay and Stannis. According to Breathecast, Stannis Baratheon's persistence to claim the Iron Throne remains strong and he will do it with "great dedication."
Further, Martin also spilled that "We have more deaths, and we have more betrayals. We have more marriages." As if death in weddings weren't enough last season, Martin is packing in more horrible wedding deaths in the new book. Now that's something to look forward to.
As for the marriages, fans predicted that one of those major weddings will be between Aegon Targaryen and Arianne Martell. The other could be between Sansa Stark and Harry the Heir.
Moreover, there's also speculation that Cersei Lannister might actually allow a family member to wed one in Stannis' family. But there's just one other Lannister wedding that may happen, it's Jamie and Brienne's.
Author Martin further admitted to Mashable that he needs to speed up in writing the book, which is expected to be released on June 2015. "I need to write faster. The last two books took a really long time, so I'm hoping this one [the Winds of Winter] will go a little faster," Martin admitted.
"Winds of Winter" should be released by mid-2015. However, Martin speculated that the release may actually be between 2015 and 2017, now that's quite a big range, isn't it?
