"A Song of Ice and Fire" is not a Fantasy

I'm sorry to go against the crowd, I was been reading Fantasy Novels for quite sometime. I see lot of people rate GRRM's ASOIAF as great fantasy book.

But, my opinion is that ASOIAF is not a Fantasy Series at all. It is marketed cleverly as Fantasy Series. It is a fictitious historical(Europe sort of  history) book where some things of like Dragons and Black Magic are deliberately added to make it look like a Fantasy Novel.

There is huge crowd of people reading Fantasy Novels, and these people oves complex plots. The Fantasy readers are tricked into thinking that ASOIAF is a complex fantasy, whereas it is not a fantasy book at all.

ASOIAF don't have any Magic System. I hate ASOIAF.
