the books are fine like i am more of a "the name of wind" kinda guy, but like, i enjoy how george makes the world and deals with prophecy like there are multiple prophecies going on with weird implications, but we don't know who is the prophecy talking about or if it is even correct, also i think the books do a way better job at dealing with the characters like dany for example people were really mad that she did some war crimes but like i had read the books and that made sense like it makes sense that the lady that has gotten everything by power and fire will use power and fire to get it and the books really gives emphasis to the whole targeryans are either insane or briliant like it is a strong theme on her character that really makes the whole she doesn't care about civilians more of sensible thing, and i would imagine there would be a bigger focus on dany slowly realizing that this land she has always dreamed of being queen does not want her and that would probably set up the whole burning of a city better
Yeah the books are actually pretty good. I saw a post recently that compared Tormund in the show to Tormund in the books. In the show he's just like "where's the tall woman?!" and just doing this bit the whole time because he tested well with audiences and they were afraid to turn any dials that might make him appear complex. While in the books he does shit like confide in Jon about how sad he is that both of his sons have died tragically recently. I think the show was decent for a while too, but the showrunners couldn't see past the hype after a while and just wanted to please fans, then they had to rush an ending without the benefit of a much better writer's detailed books to go off.
it literally was the problem that happens with manga that people start adding stuff for character to do following popularity polls and they should have given it to another person because they knew it was going to be shit like to the point that hbo wanted to give them more episodes and they decided to make it a shorter season
The fact that it was originally supposed to be a trilogy turned 5-part and now seven part series for the show adaptation to also stretch to another season is the only on brand thing the show did past season 4.
Also book 4 sucked shit to read, 3/10 and Winds of Winter's ending is appalling to say the least. Just terrible two books.
