didn’t actually stray as far from that final book as copium-huffing diehard fans want to believe.
This is what i was always saying too after the show. The ending, after correcting for general show adaptation quirks like lowering budget by mass extermination of characters by Cersei, is perfectly plausible for the book. Daenerys ultimate descend into targaryanenishness of worse kind is written on the wall literally since book one for example.
Making the SV victim (or underage SV victim in the books, because author is creepy like that too, complete with sensationalistic details describing the sexual parts of a child) the "crazy" mass murdering Swerve not-so-surprising surprise villain to invalidate even the idea of improvising society somewhat was like a liberalism limit break.
