Now that Game of Thrones season 8 (the latest one) is over and there are still no publishing dates for the two remaining books in the series fans have started making questions. some even wonder what if George RR Martin dies before he finishes Game of Thrones, truth is, it’s not the first bestselling series that has been left incomplete because the author passed away before finishing it.

But before, so far we know that George RR Martin’s health is quite good, and we wish him a long healthy life. That is the most important thing. About the question, when George RR Martin finish the books, that is quite a difficult question to answer, but we will try to do so.
Will George R.R Martin finish Game of Thrones?
Yes, George R.R Martin will finish Game of Thrones, he said recently on an interview that he was focusing on the next book in the series, Winds of Winter. So he’s working on it, and since the last Season of the tv series adaptation is already filmed, there are not that many distractions for him anymore.
The most pessimist wonder if he will finish the books since they consider him a bit old, he is 70 years old by the way. Given that the publishing gap between the latest novels has only been increased during the latest publications (as you already will know if you read This is why you shouldn’t read Game of Thrones) some think the last book might not be published in time. But let’s only wish George R.R Martin good health and long healthy life.
Even so, let’s face the horrible question:
What if George RR Martin dies before he finishes Game of Thrones?(ASOIAF)?
 
Has any fantasy writer died before ending his/her book saga?
It was another author, Brandon Sanderson (who I have introduced in previous articles: Introducing Mistborn or Skyward), who being a fan of The Wheel of Time took all the notes of Robert Jordan and finished the saga. There were so many notes that Brandon Sanderson stated there was too much information to put into a single book, as a result of those notes three books were published.
Would Brandon Sanderson finish writing Game of Thrones?
“But the point is moot, as I wouldn’t say yes to finishing ASOIAF, if asked. (And I don’t think they’d ask me.) I’d respectfully decline. I wouldn’t be right for the job for many reasons, I wouldn’t want to put in the content that the series has, and part of that is due to my religious faith, part of it is just who I am. I don’t shy away from difficult material, but I prefer not to get explicit. Honestly, when I read it in George’s work, I often just cringe. I don’t think it fits in prose; I think it looks tacky. But that’s almost 100% due to the my religious leanings. I realize that others don’t read such scenes in the same way as I do.
However, I’d suggest that this is actually a minor reason why I’d be a bad writer on this series, despite having enormous respect for GRRM and his talent as a storyteller.”
Game of Thrones ending book vs tv series
If that was not enough, let’s not forget the rummaging, some say that the two remaining books, Dream of Spring and Winds of Winter, are already finished and will be published after the ending of the tv series. This might come as a great surprise, and even though it does not seem to be true, such news would be both shocking and welcome.
