What little supernatural power that remains is confined to the margins of the known world. Moral ambiguity pervades the books and their stories continually raise questions concerning loyalty, pride, human sexuality, piety, and the morality of violence.

[43] Martin was reluctant to make the necessary deep cuts to get the book down to publishable length, as that would have compromised the story he had in mind. Printing the book in "microtype on onion skin paper and giving each reader a magnifying glass" was also not an option for him. [36] On the other hand, Martin rejected the publishers' idea of splitting the narrative chronologically into A Feast for Crows, Parts One and Two. [10] Being already late with the book, Martin had not even started writing all characters' stories, [46] and also objected to ending the first book without any resolution for its many viewpoint characters as in previous books.

Modern fantasy may often embrace strangeness, but A Song of Ice and Fire series is generally praised for what is perceived as a sort of medieval realism. [108] Believing that magic should be used moderately in the epic fantasy genre, [27] Martin set out to make the story feel more like historical fiction than contemporary fantasy, with less emphasis on magic and sorcery and more on battles, political intrigue, and the characters. [26] Though the amount of magic has gradually increased throughout the story, the series is still to end with less overt magic than most contemporary fantasies. [38] In Martin's eyes, literary effective magic needs to represent strange and dangerous forces beyond human comprehension, [61] not advanced alien technologies or formulaic spells. [120] As such, the characters understand only the natural aspects of their world, but not the magical elements like the Others. [108] a b Martin, George R. R. (March 28, 2006).
