New Game of Thrones Illustrated Edition Out in November, Winds of Winter Awaited

Earlier this week, George R.R. Martin delighted fans with a new update from his blog, but it wasn't about the much-anticipated *The Winds of Winter*. Instead, he unveiled the cover for the upcoming illustrated edition of *A Feast for Crows*, the fourth book in the *A Song of Ice and Fire* series to receive this special treatment. This edition will showcase artwork by Jeffrey R. McDonald and is scheduled for release on November 4, 2025. Fans can now preorder this beautifully illustrated book from top retailers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Target.

Martin mentioned on his blog that some of the interior illustrations will be shared this spring, ahead of the book's release. For fans looking to start their collection, the first three illustrated editions of A Song of Ice and Fire are already available.

For fans eagerly awaiting The Winds of Winter, the wait continues. In a December 2024 interview, Martin hinted that he might not finish the book in his lifetime, despite having already written 1,100 pages as confirmed in a November 2023 update. While this news is disappointing after nearly 14 years of waiting, there remains hope that the series could be completed by another author. With the fourth illustrated edition now on the horizon, it seems likely that the first five special editions will be completed before The Winds of Winter sees the light of day.
