The next entry inThe Witcher book seriesis done being written, says the author himself, Andrzej Sapkowski.
Sapkowski casually revealed the news in an interview withChimères(thanks,Culture Crave), saying “it took me two years, something like this” to finish the book. It’s still unclear exactly when the as yet-untitled book will actually hit store shelves, butSapkowski said last August that it wouldn’t take more than a year to release, so the clock is definitely ticking on his ability to meet that self-imposed deadline.
Of course, every writer’s process is different and despite being two fantasy book series, A Song of Ice and Fire and The Witcher are incomparable in scope, tone, and intent. That won’t stop my eyes from rolling out of my head when Martin gives another inevitable ‘Winds of Winter still isn’t done’ update, but it’s worth noting.
Meanwhile,The Witcher season 4production begun in April andNetflix confirmed season 5 will be the show’s final season.
