The Children of Gods and Fighting Men

I haven't read any of the Game of Thrones books, but I have a feeling that I got a mild taste of what it would be like. This book is a mix of Irish mythology and historical facts, creating an epic tale of the power struggle between the Kings of the different parts of Ireland for the title of High King. When we were voting for this book in online book club, I was hoping for a little more god-human interaction. Instead, the mythology is about two races of immortals playing politics with the crown. It wasn't exactly my cup of tea. I found it rather tedious at times, though I did pretty good remembering who was who amongst the myriad of characters.
