ASOIAF books too mature for pre-teen?

I have not read the books yet, but I's a huge fan of the show. My 12 year old daughter loves to read and would like the story, but the series is entirely too mature for her. Are the books as graphic as the show? Appropriate for an almost 13 year old to read?

The sexuality in the show is more explicit than what is in the books, but the books are still quite violent and use bad language. If you think the show is too mature for her, then the books are probably also too mature for her.

I'm only about half done with GoT - I would wait until 14 - what you see on screen is equivalent to the level of graphic detail in the novels, and there are more numerous graphic depictions in the novels, from my reading so far.

There is almost as much sexual content in the books as in the show, so if you think the series is too mature for her then the books will be as well.

I would not let my 13 year old read them. Maybe in a couple of years.
ETA: Then again, you should assess the maturity level of your kid and decide based on that.

I'll put it to you this way: During the first sex scene between Dany and Kal Drogo, Martin goes into great detail about how terrified she was and how he gave her a nice creampie that ran down her 13 year old legs.

I think she could easily read it when she's 17ish, but I wouldn't let a 12 year old read it. I'm 22 and find some of the scenes in the show to be more explicit than the books.
I would say she could probably do Hunger Games for now and Lord of the Rings. I don't think a 12 year old should read ASOIAF though. Wait a couple years and let her read them when she's mature enough. Lots of sex scenes and violence.

Most 13 year olds would find that series pretty heavy reading, regardless of the content.
