Many in the fandom have given up hope that Winds of Winter will come out, but I believe that we will get it next year and that we will get A Dream of Spring a few years after.

Seven POV's die, plus the Prologue/Epilogue POV, which are: Cersei, Barristan, Asha, JonCon, Aeron, Victarion, Areo, plus Sybell Spicer (Prologue) and Stannis (Epilogue). The Brotherhood attack the convoy transporting Edmure Tully. We learn of Lady Spicer’s plans about the Red Wedding, and also a BwB plannet second Red Wedding. Martin said on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in December 2022 he had "like 1,100, 1,200 pages" done, with 400 or 500 to go before The Winds of Winter was complete. Almost a year on, the author seemingly still has the same amount of work to be done. Emphasis mine, so I'm assuming the latter. qQNvhf.
