(Spoilerd Main) how do you rank ASOIAF as fantasy?

Compared to other fantasy novels, how do you rank ASOIAF?

Honestly it’s fairly light on fantasy. The dragons 3 walker encounters and Melisandre’s red magic is all the fantasy I’ve seen so far.

It’s mostly people swilling wine amid menacing conversations, plots of betrayal hatched in gardens, descriptions of food and people standing on an ice wall and exploring the frozen wastes.

I think Martin meant it as a tv series to begin with which he eventually hoped to make bank

Compared to other fantasy series. How does it compare?
