Good news book worms as George RR Martin's much anticipated "The Winds of Winter" book may release this month. Fresh reports also hinted that "Game of Thrones" Season 6 deviated from the book, as "The Winds of Winter's" new heroes are Stannis Baratheon and Tyrion Lannister, and not Jon Snow.
Fans of "A Song of Ice and Fire" fantasy book series by Martin have been longing for its sixth part, "The Winds of Winter"; however, initial speculations that the book will be available before the premiere of its television counterpart on HBO, "Game of Thrones," has already ended, knowing that the sixth season of the said TV series aired more than a week ago.
Now, new rumors are pointing to a possibility that "Winds of Winter" will be out this month. The rumor sparked after Martin stated that the book will have a speedy publication, Entertainment Weekly reported.
In the said interview made by the same publication, the award winning author stated that he is very positive that he can finish the book as soon as possible. He added that he had cancelled several meetings just to have a clear schedule for him to focus more on writing the sixth installment of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series, "The Winds of Winter."
On the other hand, it seems that the book do intend to differ from the story that is being told on its TV series counterpart, as rumors are leading to details that the heroes of "The Winds of Winter" are quite different from the heroes on "Game of Thrones" Season 6, which certainly focuses on Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke). According to the said rumors, the sixth installment of the book series will set its latest heroes to be Stannis Baratheon and the witty Tyrion Lannister.
It can be remembered that in the "Game of Thrones" TV series, Stannis Baratheon ( played by Stephen Dillane) was left alone in the woods bleeding, and was in a life or death situation after his army got defeated by the Lannister's. Despite of that, rumors says that Stannis will still be alive in the anticipated "Winds of Winter" book, and is going to be the book's latest hero, along with the smart and charming Tyrion Lannister who may fill a huge role.
