Huh. Never got into the books because a) Martin still hasn't finished them and I don't feel like waiting in agony for the next installment; and b) because Martin, while a *brilliant* writer, also tells stories that are depressing as hell and I didn't feel like going through the emotional wringer. But this series looks like it's gonna be to fantasy what "Rome" was to history, so it's very tempting . . .
