Interesting that you should say the characters are 'too flawed'. Would you call, for instance, Jon Snow or Danaerys Targaryen 'too flawed'? I think they merely act their age, and for that Danaerys... |

It definitely made sense. :) Though I'm curious to know why we'd think of Martin's work as 'more realistic', simply because it is generally dark. Having said that, Martin's work entertains me, but it... |

That's an interesting thing to say. I don't think I'd call, say, the Fëanorians good or bad. I think we sometimes over-simplify Tolkien's works, because there is a lot of emphasis on 'doing the right... |

'R.R.R.R Martin'. Lol. Yes, his plot is very good, though did you really get the same feeling as when you read Lord of the Rings? I found reading ASOIAF very...different. Very dark and dingy. |
