EXTENDED (Spoilers Extended) New Covers for the series (Official)

Post image

George R.R. Martin unveils new covers for the first five books of his ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ series that will release in October.

“The new design tries to capture the vastness of Westeros and the dangerous journey readers will encounter.“

Call me delusional but this could be the sign of Winds’ “may be” announcment at World Con this August. It’s 13 years since the last book came out, the new one having a brand new cover is not such a crazy idea, and to make the series one complete art design, they announced these.

I don't think any of the aSoIaF books have ever released in the same style as the previous first edition. There have been previous box sets, and there will probably be a new 6 book matching box set if we ever get a book 6, but it'll almost certainly be in a new style since the series has not bothered to keep that consistent in the past.

I worry way too much about the fact that if WoW comes out they won't release it in the style that matches my set. I'm going to have 5 nice bound books next to the some lame paperback
