I know I mentioned this before, but the ASoIaF naming conventions are really bothering me. What exactly was the reason for lifting so many character names from it? I can understand if it's just one or two characters, but you kind of went a bit overboard with it.
I do understand that ASoIaF isn't as super popular as something like Final Fantasy in this community so a lot of people won't notice. But to those who have read the books (and the number is definitely increasing due to the whole HBO thing), it just comes across as really tacky seeing all of these characters with names from that series. Personally, it kind of affected the way I viewed some of the characters. For example, when I first saw that one of your main characters was named Janos, I kind of immediately hated him.
Anyway, I'm not trying to be offensive at all. Just a bit curious is all.
