I made it to book 5 since the end of last season. It is easily as addictive and engrossing as the show...

Show watchers will be happy to know that it seems they are changing a lot from the books this season. Major arcs, and characters appear to be omitted entirely, I'm not even sure if spoilers will be possible. Although I'm sure people will find a way LOL
i'm not sure if this will be a good or bad thing... and, are the changes due to the slow release of books?
I think HBO has decided to finish it on their own. George RR Martin isn't gonna finish his books in time, and HBO certainly isn't gonna put the show on a 4 or 5 year hiatus just to wait for him.
