Then yes, you should definitely read them. :)
I'm on book 5, and so far, I've adored them. BUT - if any of the things above are going to detract from a story for you, then you should probably give them a miss.


But .. that's just me.
It's a nicely detailed world, and the first two books I found very enjoyable. I say: give the first one a try. If you don't like it, no biggie. And as long as you use a library rather than spending money on them, all you've lost is time.
As for Martin ... I love his books. I just wish he'd get a move on!

If you want to try one with more of a sci-fi bent, her Jaran books are brilliant. The first is Jaran, followed by The Sword of Heaven, His Conquering Sword (which always gives me an immature snigger), and The Law of Becoming. If you enjoy them maybe you'll move on to The Crown of Stars books, but I read the Jaran books after the other series and she's one of my favourite authors now.
And, as was pointed out, at least the series is complete and you don't have to wait 1 or 2 years to find out what happens! Hate that (yeah I'm looking at you Robert Jordan - oh sorry, that one's not going to work anymore... who else is slow?)
