How many people here have read the books, how many just watch the TV show?

The scenes with Stannis in the latest episode are ahead of the books, but it seems about the only way out for him now, so them progressing similarly seems likely.

The comment about following too few characters rings true, but thats in part because they've combined characters from the books into one show character, and cut other book characters out. For example the character of Jon Connington seems to have been mushed into Jorah's character.

I've only read the first 2 and half the 3rd so I'm aware of a lot of the characters that have been cut. I quite like that they're splitting away from the books in the show because it does give it more intrigue, however, the show version of events often come across as less thought out. Not a big surprise considering GRRM has spent the better part of 30 years writing and refining. David Benioff and DB Weiss have only been at it for like 5 years now.
