I feel ya man. Howevert, It might be best to watch the show because a random comment ruining it would be the worst outcome and from what Ive read, George said their will still be surprises for the readers and the book will stick to the lore while the show may diverge. Like Sam in old town in the book and the dragon glass candles or other threads in the book. Idk, im really torn and confused. If he had just went less dense with a feast for crows and stuck to having all the characters in one book, we'd have WoW now. That was his first mistake. |
People keep telling me that, but the whole situation has me soured on on the series in general. The series has gone from this beloved series of books to this massive unstoppable force that has invaded all facets of pop culture. That wouldn't be enough to get me to stop, but George and the show runners (mostly George, I assume) not having planned this out very well just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's basically a big fuck you to the people who made the series of books popular in the first place and the people who prefer to read first and watch after. And I know people are all like "well, there are bound to be differences" and that's all well and good, but the fate of important characters and plot points are not going to be (all) different. And it's that knowledge as I'm reading that will ruin the experience for me. I have a low tolerance for spoilers. I need to go in not knowing anything. And whether I get spoiled accidentally, or I get spoiled by staying up to date with the show, it will change how I read the next two books. And not for the better.
I don't like it one bit, and it will only take one big spoiler for me to give up the series for good. I've almost resigned myself to that path anyways. George got 5 hardcover purchases from me. Hope he enjoys them.
