It's more of a rule than exception that any time he introduces even remotely likeable character to the story, he only does so to kill them couple chapters later.

I have found myself wishing that all the characters die in a fire.

I read the first two before giving up. Is anything actually happening? Or is it just a soap opera with blood and swords?

The best thing about his books is he tricks the reader into thinking the story is about the people involved when it's really about what happens when the world faces a threat that people are too self absorbed to notice in time.
I love that part. The fking worlds about to get over run by undead and the humans start wars with themselves.
Perfect.

I found that early on I had decided the good guys and the bad guys but then in the end it just had guys. Some really great characters, John Snow is your typical fantasy hero whereas Tyrion is much more interesting
