See above reply. It is a sprawling series, and I'm a bit afraid Martin's going to die before he finishes it, so there's no point in trying again if the basic premises didn't appeal; only if you found the characters too black and white would I encourage a second try.
Well, I liked the first book a lot, so my recommendation may not be enough to swing you. If your objection was that the Starks were all too perfect and the Lannisters all too evil, then that definitely changes. But if you just didn't find the conflicts interesting, then it might not be the series for you.
I tried Lymond, but even after several books couldn't keep characters and situations straight. For whatever reason, fantasy & sf are what really do it for me.

Ditto. Do the subsequent books make it worthwhile or is it more of the same?
