I don't see how half-way through the first book the plot could possibly be transparent to anyone. Martin is, above all else, a master at manipulating his reader into thinking things about his characters, and then, whenever he wants to, changing the reader's perception so utterly and completely you begin to pity and even like the most despicable characters in the series. And he makes it all believable. Jaime Lannister.
I voted yes, but I admit, I have not read too much of many fantasy series out there. Most get dull and repetitive (to me) after the first few pages and don't manage to immediately suck me in. ASoIaF sucked me in.
