George R.R. Martin recently updated his blog with exciting news, though not about the long-awaited *The Winds of Winter*. Instead, he unveiled the cover for the upcoming illustrated edition of *A Feast for Crows*, the fourth book in the acclaimed *A Song of Ice and Fire* series. This special edition will feature stunning artwork by Jeffrey R. McDonald and is slated for release on November 4, 2025. Fans eager to add this beautifully illustrated volume to their collection can preorder it from top retailers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Target.

While fans eagerly await The Winds of Winter, the next installment in the series, there's still no confirmed release date. Martin's most recent update in December 2024 hinted at the possibility that he might not complete the book in his lifetime, despite having already written 1,100 pages by November 2023. Though this news is disappointing after a 14-year wait, there remains hope that the series might be completed by someone else. With the fourth illustrated edition on its way, it appears likely that all five special editions will be released before The Winds of Winter sees the light of day.
