Well, fair enough, there's no way you can please all of the people all of the time!
Hey there's people out there who don't even like Fantasy books at all !
I can sort of see what you're saying. I have certainly read books or watched movies where I've found it hard to keep track of who's who and what they did to each other 10 years ago and what the political situation is!! The feeling of finding that boring is familiar.
However I guess it's hard to explain why I don't find ASOIAF to be like that.
Obviously on the face of it the reason was that I found the characters interesting and so engagingly written that it wasn't a chore to me to keep track of 'who's who' etc. I am like most people in that I find it a lot easier to remember things that are interesting.
But I guess you just didn't find the characters all that interesting!
Do you generally dislike books with lots of different characters? It might just be that you don't like that no matter how it's written.
