How does it compare to A Song of Ice and Fire?

I just started the first book. I'm not far enough in to make a solid opinion yet. However, the story starts off with a bang. I have high hopes for it being an action-packed fantasy series.

A Song of Ice and Fire only appear as low fantasy cause none of the POVs and barely anyone they meet have magic. Yet the world is full of magic. It's a shitty premise either way. Three should be one.

If anything it's a post-magic world. If the series was set when the Children of the Forest ruled Westeros it'd be hf. Magic is basically a myth during the series (even though everyone knows about the Wall which clearly isn't natural).
