After a hiatus, Martin returned to blogging, thanking his staff of assistants for their tireless efforts in keeping him from falling behind. The author has been facing criticism from readers regarding the delayed publication of the sixth ‘Game of Thrones’ book, ‘The Winds of Winter.’
Martin addressed the criticism last year, stating that he had lost interest in ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ decades ago. However, in his recent post, he highlighted the nine Emmy nominations bestowed upon his ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ on HBO Max, showcasing that 2026 has not been all sadness for the author.
