This was the first of many overly-ambitious claims from Martin, as it ultimately took 6 years to release Dance in 2011, the same year that HBO's TV show first aired. (The intended fourth volume grew too large in the writing, prompting Martin to split the cast into 2 separate books.) In an author's note in Feast, Martin stated that book 5, A Dance with Dragons, would be published within a year. A bunch of major characters were alsoĬonspicuously absent. It received far more mixed reviews than its predecessors, due to a slower pace as Martin transitioned the epic story into a new direction. Martin published the series' first 3 books in the span of just 4 years, and managed to cover an incredible amount of plot in that time.Ī scrapped time jump delayed the publication of book 4, A Feast for Crows, until it was finally released in 2005. Long-time fans of the books, wait times are nothing new.
