He does historical fantasy that are highly based on a particular time and place, which a lot of people do, but I particularly appreciate the variety of his settings and I think he does it best. I'm not really sure what about that style of worldbuilding appeals to me since I enjoy drawing from all kinds of sources to create something completely new but at some point I would like to try this kind of historical fantasy.
I also really like his approach to characters. He doesn't tend to do Good vs. Evil, but just multiple sides that each have a point. I don't feel like I'm being told who to like and who to hate. GRRM is known for that too but I prefer Kay's approach which feels more sympathetic whereas I feel like Martin has a more pessimistic view of people.
