I'd say so, though there's a lot of intrigue and backstabbing (sometimes literally). If that's not your thing, maybe you should read something else :-) There are too many good books you haven't read yet for you to need to waste time with any you don't enjoy.
It *is* a very long series, and the first book is largely moving the pieces into place for the big conflicts and action pieces of the later books.
I enjoyed the first book, and it kept me turning the pages, but I haven't read any of the later ones, because to my mind, it didn't really qualify as fantasy. There's almost nothing in the first book that couldn't have happened on Earth in the Middle Ages. Later books apparently do have more fantasy elements, so I might go back to the series at some point... but I think I'll wait until it's actually finished.Does A Game Of Thrones Get More Interesting?
They've made it into a series on cable TV. Maybe you can watch that and decide. Also, check the website. It will give you lots of information.
