Though it’s worth noting that Martin has left a back door for himself the series could feasibly extend beyond A Dream of Spring. ”I’m as firm as I am,” Martin told Entertainment Weekly back in 2011 in regards to whether A Dream of Spring would be the final book, ”until I decide not to be firm.” That means that, as of this writing, there are two more Game of Thrones books planned: The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. However, shortly after A Feast for Crows was released in 2005, Martin confirmed that A Song of Ice and Fire would run for seven books, and that the final novel would be titled A Dream of Spring (a change from a previous working title for the book, A Time for Wolves). That brings us to The Winds of Winter, which was originally planned as the final volume of the series.

In his original pitch to publisher Bantam, Martin envisioned A Song of Ice and Fire as a trilogy. A Dream of Spring will be the final Game of Thrones book Martin has been pretty open about his plans for A Song of Ice and Fire, so as things stand we have a solid answer: The Winds of Winter is the penultimate novel in the sequence, not the final one. Now it’s been 11 years, and the ending of A Song of Ice and Fire eludes us still.īut how many books does Martin have planned for this series? Is The Winds of Winter the last Game of Thrones book? While the wait between earlier installments was much shorter, it’s ballooned between later novels. To date Martin has released five novels in this sequence: A Game of Thrones (1996), A Clash of Kings (1998), A Storm of Swords (2000), A Feast for Crows (2005), and A Dance with Dragons (2011).
