>>19939444It's a really easy series to read and more based than the tv-series all the way though since it doesn't start pissing and running, urinating characters and plot points away on the ground, like the series starts at somewhere around season 4.
Meanwhile in the books, It's been a while but I think- without spoilers, Tyrion the imp is somewhere in Essos like barely met Daynerys in the last released book, and Euron Greyjoy has more in common with a undead Jack Sparrow than the silly lad he was on the show.
The only issue is that if you start reading it and like it you'll become one of the many hated that wait Winds of Winter but only had to do so for a minute or so in comparison. Some people are approaching 19 years by now, or something.
