Yeah, Sanderson is my favorite author of all time but I don’t see him finishing Game of Thrones. It’s a completely different style from what he writes, he probably wouldn’t even enjoy writing it, and tbh I don’t even think he would do a good job of it.

He talked about this 8 years ago on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/4uwjq9/spoilers_everything_twow_isnt_coming_this_year_is/d6lotl1?context=3
He agrees with you. It’s not his style, he doesn’t think he’s the right person for the job, and would decline if asked to do it.
And to the point made by @Albbi@lemmy.ca, at the time he had only read the first book so it doesn’t seem that he’s in the “huge fan” category.
Maybe something has changed since then but I really doubt it.

While you are supporting me on that other point, I have to say, Sanderson was a HUGE fan of Robert Jordan
I should have worded that better. I meant that he’s not a huge fan of ASOIAF so it’s quite different from the WoT situation.
