It's on about the same level as the Dragonlance stuff - young adult intro to fantasy fiction.
That being said, I enjoyed both series (well, okay, I didn't read *all* of the Eddings stuff cause it wasn't all out at the time) and they're definitely good for some entertaining light fluff reading but they have about as much in common with George R.R. Martin's level of prose as a graphic novel
eddings is vacation reading, light and easy.
once you have read one or two of his series, you get the idea for them all.
anyone here read Steven Brust? (Jhereg) or Brandon Sanderson (mistborn)

Mistborn rings a bell. Doesn't stand out in my memory, though.

Only the third episode? You have no idea how great it gets as time goes on.
You are in for a ride.

Shes inbred too. Her family has been inbreeding for centuries...

Enough changes from the books to keep things interesting. Different emphasis too.
Some odd changes to Dany, she's much more a driftwood victim early on than in the books (the scene of her riding her mare and jumping through the fire was very good. Khal Drogo is also much more of an unthinking brute in the series, which is a shame).
Sansa seems to have been turned into a nasty little bitch. Odd choise, as she should be sympathetic but naïve to give proper weight to the thing to come.
Added, changed and condenced conversations have been very nice. Tyrion and Arya are the characters who steal the show, as they should be

How? He seems cleaver, smart and wise thus far? He doesn't talk much as he doesn't know "common".
