George R.R. Martin has cemented his status as a leading fantasy author with celebrated works like A Game of Thrones and A Dance with Dragons from his A Song of Ice and Fire series. However, in recent years, the renowned author has released little new material, leaving fans eagerly awaiting The Winds of Winter. That’s why when another famous fantasy author completed his new book, all eyes were on Martin.
Andrzej Sapkowski completes another The Witcher novel
After making an initial announcement last year, Andrzej Sapkowski recently revealed in an interview he has finished another novel in his The Witcher series. Sapkowski told Chimeres, “I have no plans right now. I finished the book. It took me maybe two years, something like this.”
Last year, Sapkowski also confirmed that his upcoming book will be a standalone work centered on Geralt.
Fans urge George R. R. Martin to hurry up with Winds of Winter
Ever since the news of Andrzej Sapkowski completing his book within two years went viral, A Song of Ice and Fire fans took to social media to push Martin to complete The Winds of Winter. Some of them said:

I’m not overly blown away by George R. R. Martin’s writing in A Song of Ice and Fire. Andrzej Sapkowski is a much better writer, and The Witcher books are a translation, which makes it all that more impressive.

I’m still super excited after hearing there’s going to be another book installment in the Witcher series in the next year or so now all I need is Martin to put out at least one of 2 books needed for GOT
