Oh I would agree that he is totally jaded. but I mean not many people represent that perspective. It is definitely fresh.

That is true to an extent... be we do learn that even villains who we started despising in the beginning have the capability to change into something better (Jamie) and that sometimes good deeds can be rewarded (John).

I think the violence and bad things that happen in the series is just shocking because most fantasy fans aren't used to that sort of thing... so it's harder to see the good things that do happen.
