There's no way the book is coming out this summer. It's not even finished yet, and it typically takes 6+ months from completion to see a book on the shelves at Barnes and Noble.

Gurm's problem is that he's made enough money that he doesn't have to work. He can go to nerd cons and blog about pizza and the Jets/Giants all fricking day long and it doesn't negatively affect his lifestyle.

t'd be easy to blame the delay on Gurm's decision to forgo his original plan of a 5 year gap. The gap would have let Dany, Bran, Sansa, Arya, and Jon grow into believable young adults. It would have made sense. Now he has to figure out how the frick to get Dany from a 16 year old girl with no education and near-feral dragons to a world-spanning conqueror and savior of Westeros from the forthcoming invasion of the Others.

you're seriously nerd raging hard
