As Zurbaran1, stated, these two could not be anymore different from each other. Aside from the R rated themes, Martin created Game of Thrones (Book 1 of A Song of Ice and Fire), with more gritty realism. You'll be able to easily identify with various characters and relate to their plight. Apart from a few character, most are not clearly defined as heroes/villians. This isnt' a tale of the simpl
good vs. evil. Martin focuses more on the human element, putting the fantasy elements in the background. Mind you they do play an important role in the saga, but it's just a bit more understated.
