Over the weekend, George R.R. Martin fans received some disappointing news: the sixth book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series will not be completed before the sixth season of Game of Thrones premieres on HBO in April. While you may be saying ‘we’ve known this for a while,’ fans have still hoped that Martin would complete the book so the television series does not go beyond the original content even further.
