So, I've just started reading the series and it's been slow going.

(Lots of talking and I'm pretty creeped out by the treatment of the females even though I am aware it would be 'accurate' for the 'times'. i.e Dany and her brother tweaking her nipples + marriage)

Does it get better? Or is it filled with similar acts throughout and should I just give up because my stomach cannot take that in frequency.

*feeling a touch uneasy*

Oh, anon, I'm sorry to say, but (in my opinion) it doesn't get better. I don't know how to do spoiler cut here, so I'll just warn you, there will be spoilers (some for major events) from all five books below, listing some of the stuff I found hard to take.

SPOILERS:

Sansa's

Arya

I don't remember Dany

Our fan favorite, Tyrion,

Cersei

ADWD

This is just the stuff off the top of my head. So yeah, it's pretty bad. I can just barely handle it, because I do love the story and the characters, many of whom are kickass girls who are all set to fuck stuff up in the next books, but their treatments is really upsetting at times and wears me out. I had to put the book down for a while when my example from Cersei's story happened, I was so angry.

This is long, sorry. *insert a "I just have a lot of feelings" gif here*

Wow, I'm definitely going to have to read the books now.

... I feel weird saying this after the previous comment, but... I almost stopped watching the show after a few eps (I watched the first season before I bought the books and read them) but I decided to continue with the show in hopes that Dany will one day rule the world and while there is a lot of skeevy stuff going around, there's also a lot of women being pretty damn awesome despite the crappy world/time they live in.

Ack, sorry >< My comment must have sounded over-the-top and kinda preachy... But really, I wholeheartedly agree with this statement:

while there is a lot of skeevy stuff going around, there's also a lot of women being pretty damn awesome despite the crappy world/time they live in.
