The hundreds of pages per book and the obscene amounts of characters, agendas and history to track is.. daunting. If you get distracted from them by life for a bit it very easy to be like "I don't even know what the fuck is happening anymore"
Seriously the amount of viewpoint characters is crazy and there are a lot of named plot important characters outside of them. Plus various other major-minor characters. Arya Jon Ned Catelyn Robb Brandon Sansa Rickon John Tyrion Cersi Jaime Tywin Littlefinger Varys Sam Joffrey Robert Margarey Melisandre Sandor Theon Jeor Walder Gregor Ramsay Jorah Daenarys Etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. And that's pretty much just the viewpoint characters and biggest plot pushers. And I probably left shitload of those out. Is there any other series that has as many notable characters in one single continuity? Seriously pretty sure there are well in excess of 2000 named characters, with at least a couple dozen that could be considered main characters, and a couple hundred+ who could be considered major or notable recurring characters. --- ...

The Targaryen family tree is confusing as hell (although pretty fascinating once you actually get familiar with each character). Aerys, Danaerys, Jaehaerys, Aegon, Aemon, Aemond, Aegor, Baelor, Rhaeneyra, etc etc...

I found it mostly okay because there's a lot of overlap. My only issues were Daenarys' chapters in later books where they introduce so many characters that aren't even mentioned in other PoVs who all have much more bizarre names.

Get comfy with the character index in the back of the book. You're going to be best friends.

I like that GRRM wanted to be kinda authentic to the naming system of old where many people share names or have very similar ones and so on. But it's quite hard to keep up sometimes.
