George R.R. Martin recently shared an exciting update on his blog, but it wasn't about the long-awaited *The Winds of Winter*. Instead, he unveiled the cover for the next illustrated edition of *A Song of Ice and Fire* series: *A Feast for Crows*. This marks the fourth book in the series to receive this special treatment, featuring stunning artwork by Jeffrey R. McDonald.
*A Feast for Crows: The Illustrated Edition* is scheduled for release on November 4, 2025. Fans can preorder this highly anticipated edition from major retailers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Target, as well as other top online bookstores.

This news is a treat for collectors of the illustrated editions. The last illustrated edition, *A Storm of Swords*, was released in November 2020, making it five years since the last special edition hit the shelves.
In addition to the captivating illustrations, the new edition of *A Feast for Crows* will include a foreword by Joe Abercrombie. Martin's blog also mentioned that some of the interior illustrations will be shared later this spring, ahead of the book's release. For those new to the series or looking to start their collection, the first three illustrated editions of *A Song of Ice and Fire* are already available.

What About The Winds of Winter?
For fans eagerly awaiting *The Winds of Winter*, the wait may continue for some time. The last update from Martin on this book came in a December 2024 interview, where he expressed concerns about finishing it within his lifetime. This followed his November 2023 update, where he confirmed having written 1,100 pages of the book.
While the lack of progress on *The Winds of Winter* is disappointing after nearly 14 years of anticipation, there remains hope that the series might be completed by someone else. With the fourth illustrated edition now on its way, it seems likely that the first five special editions will be completed before *The Winds of Winter* sees the light of day.
