Dance With Dragons is Actually Real! (we hope)
OHMYGOD! OHMYGOD! My husband went to our local genre bookstore, Mysterious Galaxy, today and guess what he saw in the window:

Could it be? Could the much anticipated last book of the epic and seemingly-never-ending Song of Ice and Fire high fantasy series by George R.R. Martin actually be in sight?
I remember when my taller half and I went to Mysterious Galaxy to see Martin for one of his author events. He said that A Dance With Dragons was always supposed to be the last book in the series. That when we saw that title come out we would know that completion was nigh.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Song of Ice and Fire series … This is one of those beloved fantasy series, like Wheel of Time, that people have been waiting half their lifetimes for the end of the story. The ‘last book’ keeps getting split into multiple novels. A source of major fan frustration.
But look, LOOK! The little bookstore sign says the wait is ending. But… could it be real? QUICKLY, to the author’s website!!! ….
Okay, so it’s not as good as on the shelves. Martin hasn’t actually finished the book. But he says that this publication date is really actually real this time. Unlike the other, previous publication dates from past years.
Clap if you believe.
