Same here
but am 3/4s of the way through the first book and have found it very engaging. Fantasy is not my normal bag.

The thing is even as the books go on, they're still not that fantastical.
The fantasy elements are there, but they're usually glossed over in favour of politics, sex and violence, not always in that order.
