Re: GRRM killing characters that "matter" - that's the thing. No single character actually matters in the grand scope of it all. The books are called A Song of Ice and Fire which is a subtle clue as to where the real story lies. It's not about Ned or Robb Stark, or Jamie Lannister, or Danerys Targaeryen, or Stannis Baratheon in the sense that any of of them are the story's protagonist (or antagonist). They are all just pawns - some interesting, some likable, some detestable - that are moving around in a bigger game.
In the books, you jump from character to character so much I've never really gotten attached to any single one. Some you like and some you hate more than others, but it's more about the interlocking plots they're part of and how they're progressing then the individual people.
