Entertainment Weekly's online edition reports on an update for the app for George R. R. Martin's glacially advancing fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, which opened in 1996 with Game of Thrones. That's also the name by which the HBO series based on the books is known. The app update, scheduled for later this month, will offer new character and location descriptions.
It will also feature a chapter from The Winds of Winter, the sixth book in the series which will be published sometime. Martin has previously published a chapter from Winds on his website, then promised a second chapter in the paperback edition of 2011's book five, A Dance of Dragons. That sample chapter never materialized, but perhaps the fact that the app chapter will be from the viewpoint of fan favorite Tyrion Lannister will help ease their disappointment.
In the meantime, Entertainment Weekly fleshed out its story by offering a preview of the preview: The article features an entire paragraph from the forthcoming sample chapter.
Don't rush things too much, George...
