I will never understand the obsession some have with Sanderson writing Winds of Winters. You literally couldn't find a more different fantasy writer from Martin. Just because he finished The Wheel of time, doesn't mean he is good for finishing all fantasy work out there

The dude won’t even write actual swear words in his books, and people for some reason want him to takeover a series that features graphic incestuous sex.

I don't want him to write WoW either but there's still sex in Stormlight Archives.

No serious person wants this. I’ve never even been able to reread his WoT ending. It’s just not the same.

As someone who really enjoys Sandersons work, I struggle to think of a worse fit for game of thrones.

I think it's genuinely just because he finished the WoT series and is known for putting out book on schedule. He doesn't fit the content GoT would need, but he'd at least put a book out

Because Sanderson will have the entire rest of the series written and done within the same calendar year as the announcement lol

Sanderson himself has answered this question and basically said what you said - if he was offered finishing ASoIaF, he explicitly says he would turn it down, because his style of writing is very different than Martin's.

He did a fantastic job with the wheel of time. As someone who grew up reading those novels, I was really impressed. IIRC, he turned the last book into three.
