Read George RR Martin’s Beautiful 800-Page Apology for the Sixth ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ Book Delay

Get excited for some brand new A Song of Ice and Fire content! George RR Martin might not have released any new chapters from The Winds of Winter but he did release the next best thing: a lengthy apology on his LiveJournal blog.

But don’t just take their word for it. Check out the apology for yourself on GRRM’s “Not a Blog” and don’t forget to pre-order the hardcover edition on Amazon.
