I think we saw last night how things are starting to deviate from the books. For example, where in the heck is Sansa going? And for Mance? -- So far like the book, but I suspect it won't be in the end.

It will make it more interesting for those who've read them, in my opinion. The books are far too sprawling and I got the sense at times the author didn't know what to do with everybody, even as he continued to add new characters nearly as fast as he killed off older ones.<br /><br />Have you seen the pending publication of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" by Martin? It's set about a century before "Game of Thrones."Billnoreply@blogger.com
