It's a civil war. It's messy. There are more sides to every side and those sides swap sides. It's often impossible to tell who is who, as new houses and factions emerge. But somehow it all comes together. 
And it's a great, if harrowing read. 
Ps, presumably Daenerys will eventually feature as something more than a wanderer.

So much rape and sexual assault, I'm not sure if there’s 2 chapters in a row that don’t describe the fuckability or breasts of a woman

Reread to compare to the show. 
Even though I initially read this book back in the early 2000’s I’m glad I picked up my computer again. 
It’s a fantastic read, but I  do feel the GRRM relies too much on SA to add drama or character development. 
The larger themes of war and all its players is still thrilling.

3.5

the 2nd book in the series 
definitely a lot slower and more about war plans and fighting
with king robert and lord ned dead, the north and south has been split between multiple kings 
Daenerys fights for ships and the saftey of her clansmen against rich men and lords
theres so much to go into but if you watched the show first you wont be disappointed with extra information( so much talking!)

As the war begins we are forced to watch from every side how people feel. From indifference, unbridled rage, indescribable grief and the awful things war causes and allows to try to be justified. As well as how our many characters deal with their quickly changing lives.
