I've spent a lot of time on this by now and in some places high vs low is about the morality of the secondary universe; high has clear good vs evil, whole low has everything murky and the plot arising from the intersection of different character's motivations. Which may or may not be quite the same as silverr's "grimdark", but is definitely a split that does put ASOIAF on the low side.
