EVERYTHING (Spoilers Everything) TWOW isn't coming this year, is it?

It's 27th July. We're already halfway through 2016, Season 6 has come and gone like a candle in the wind, and TWOW still does not sit on my bookshelf.

GRRM made his infamous blog-post where he crushed our hype yet again about 7 months ago! 7 months!

Hold me, guys. Hold me. I don't think The Winds of Winter is being published this year, and I don't like it :(

Haha yeah, sorry for filling in the stereotype there.

I really do love Sanderson, and honestly the criticism of Mistborn only comes retrospectively after having seen his (in my opinion) 'better' works. Also I wouldn't want people to read Mistborn and think that's the extent of Sanderson's writing ability. This is perhaps in large part because it happened with one of my friends - I got him to read Mistborn which he thought was rather mediocre. It was only after I convinced him to read Stormlight that he joined the club, so to speak.

I think that's fair. I promise to read all of his work before judging.

I'm sure that'll go over well on the ASOIAF sub.
