Brandon Sanderson Reveals Why He’d Never Take Over Game of Thrones
The author of the Stormlight Archive has no plans to finish George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and fire series
Brandon Sanderson has stated that he would not take over writing George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series if Martin dies before completing The Winds of Winter. In an interview with IGN, Sanderson said he is the wrong person for the job, citing that his career is a response to A Song of Ice and Fire and that fans of both series would agree.
Sanderson also mentioned that there are more natural fits to continue the series, and that if Martin decided to go in that direction, he would deserve someone who is a good fit for his world, just like Sanderson was for Wheel of Time. According to Polygon and IGN, Martin has also stated that there is no plan for someone else to step in and finish the series if he is unable to complete it.
George R.R. Martin, 77, has recently described the year as stressful and acknowledged the lack of updates on The Winds of Winter. IGN reports that he seems to be leaning towards the possibility that the series may not be finished.
