Is there a set number of expected book in this series, like WoT? Is this book the penultimate or the last one or what?
Just wondering.
Well, WoT never had a set number of books. Jordan originally said 3 (!!!), then 6, then 10, then 12 etc. So that's not a great precedent
Ha, true! I was thinking more recently, where Jordan promised there would only be Knife of Dreams and A Memory of Light.
ASoIaF was originally also 3, then 4 for about five minutes before Martin realised that wasn't going to fly and put it up to six (this was back when A GAME OF THRONES first came out).
For reasons far too long and tedious to get into again, Books 4 and 5 have been chopped up, moved around, bled into one another and so forth, so it's now seven. Due to Martin's contract with HBO, I've got a feeling it might have to stay at seven as well, as adding another book means adding another season and tens of millions of dollars to the TV series budget.
Thanks for the info.
Insert theme music here.
We have a date! From George! Rejoice!

I might just wait and go get it at the library, then I'll have a few less years to wait for Winds.
