The Last of Us changed the Bill character for the better. Thats only one example though. Fight Club comes to mind, even Palahniuk said Fincher made a good changes
Well get off your ass and finish a fucking book and maybe you wouldn’t have this problem GEORGE
He has made his bank and has no major incentive to finish the series. It’s been 13 years, the guy is 76, and he’s supposedly got two books left to go.
My money is on Sanderson getting handed the notes after Martin dies and bringing the series to an unsatisfying conclusion because, at this point, nothing will be satisfying.
Oh yeah it’s way too late. The damage to ASOIAF has been done. I’d rather just let it die.
Book readers would probably disagree
I read them like 5 times, no lie. I loved those books. Seriously. I spent so much time on /r/asoiaf, I had thousands and thousands of karma from there. I was really, really into it.
At this point I’m fine with letting it be dead. There are other books to read.
Ah to each there own for me I’m going crazy not knowing ‘his’ ending tbh
hotd really got me reinvested in the series, not for the asoiaf characters, but i just really want to know about the world more, i need to understand the magic more, what went down in valeria, and the children of the forest, stoneheart, the lore behind the wights and lord of light. other than davos, i could not care less what happens to these people and i never finished the hbo series, but i could only imagine that how they had me for davos something terrible must befall him but really i don’t care to know that, but i know sanderson would be able to mop up all these tasty drippings for me and he’d be so caught up in enjoying his interpretation of the lore, that he’d forget to condense it, and i’m totally here for that
Sanderson was a huge Wheel of Time fan which is part of why he could take over and finish that series. The dude reread the series after every book came out. I don’t know if he’s as huge of a fan of Game of Thrones.
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 @[email protected], 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.
You know what else is annoying? When an author writes five out of six wildly popular books and leaves his fans hanging after they committed over ten years into reading them.
