The style of these books worked for me. Switching to a different character for each chapter, and often ending chapters on a cliffhanger, kept my simple little mind engaged.

I liked his earlier novels, like The Dying of the Light, but I didn't think they quite matched his short stories. When he came back to novel-writing with A Game of Thrones it was like he was trying out a different style that (to me) works better in the longer format.
