Though he’s determined not to reveal spoilers, Martin still managed to share some solid clues about how The Winds of Winter will diverge from its television counterpart. “What I have noticed more and more of late,” Martin recently wrote in a lengthy update at his blog, “…is my gardening is taking me further and further away from the television series. Yes, some of the things you saw on HBO in GAME OF THRONES you will also see in THE WINDS OF WINTER (though maybe not in quite the same ways)…but much of the rest will be quite different.” Perhaps to the relief of viewers who bristled at the TV series’ final few episodes, though, Martin is hinting that The Winds of Winter- the next book installment - won’t unfold its story in quite the same way as the show’s late-stage shenanigans did at HBO.Ĭomparing his ongoing labor over The Winds of Winter to that of a patient gardener, Martin hinted that the book is cultivating its own unique story territory. The events in Game of Thrones the TV show eventually outpaced those of Martin’s novels, meaning that his next book will be playing a bit of catch-up to the story fans have already seen onscreen. Martin-penned books, meanwhile, have had to abide a different kind of bittersweet agony, as they wait for Martin to release the penultimate novel in his A Song of Ice and Fire book cycle on which the show is based. Game of Thrones’ HBO swan song may have divided fans, but at least it offered definitive closure to viewers who had walked among Westeros’ icy, fiery lands through eight epic seasons.
