This series has had more release dates that have been missed then just about any others I know of.
Keep in mind that many of those previous "release dates" that have been reported on Amazon or other bookseller sites had nothing to do with George. Those were placeholders that get slapped up there by publishers and the like (because they just can't say "we don't know"). Those dates are then promptly forgotten by the person who invented them. So when that dates arrives with no book... everyone screams bloody-murder. This just happened with Scott Lynch and his overdue book.

The difference with this date, is that it's the first one that has been confirmed by George, Bantam (U.S.) and Voyager (U.K) as being the "carved in stone" release date.

Believe me, I'm one of the most skeptical people you'll ever meet on this subject -- but even I'm having a hard time disbelieving that "this is it." Too many insiders have known about this date and managed to keep a lid on it for a long time. And then Entertainment Weekly "prematurely" broke the news - before George had a chance to do it himself.

I firmly believe it's a done deal.
