- dlp211 5y agoSanderson would almost certainly not finish GoT. He does high fantasy, not grimdark. There are plenty of grimdark authors that would be far better suited to finishing GoT.
- freddie_mercury 5y agoNot "almost certainly". He has explicitly said he wouldn't do it. He doesn't like the series, disagrees with Martin's pessimistic take on humanity, and believes the content clashes with his religion. Quote from him: "….the point is moot, as I wouldn’t say yes to finishing ASOIAF, if asked. (And I don’t think they’d ask me.) I’d respectfully decline. I wouldn’t be right for the job for many reasons." https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/4uwjq9/spoilers_everything_twow_isnt_coming_this_year_is/d6lotl1/?context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/4uwjq9/spoilers_eve...
- akmarinov 5y agoNo, thank you. We know broadly how GoT ends. I prefer that we get more Stormlight and Cosmere.
- chrisan 5y agoMan, the way he can crank out stories I'd be surprised if him helping GoT would affect his timelines at all
