Hee. I think the Ice and Fire books are good, actually (as opposed to the Crown of Stars ones), it just happens that Martin is systematically killing off or making totally unlikeable all the characters I cared about.
And actually the third book I really liked, because it was all "Let me tell you how everything you thought in the first and second books were wrong," and man, that takes some doing to pull off.
...Really? You're interested in hearing me babble about Chalion and religion?! You are so on! It will probably take me at least a month, as I am incredibly backed up on posts right now, but... wow. Yes! (Though I can't promise that the things that fascinated me about the Fivefold Gods will be the ones that fascinate you. I'd forgotten about the death magic, for instance, but it's been a while since I've reread.)
