Finished the books woo.
Rickon tbh.
Not in the show apparently gah.
Heard Jaime replaces Arys Oakheart and Ellaria Sand replaces Arianne Martell (BS that). And there are some clues to that:
- no Stoneheart
- no Tyrion telling Jaime about Cersei
But then Brienne's story line is a bit of a dead end so I dunno.
There is so much new stuff in books 4 and 5 though, it could be a major turn-off for a lot of people. Dorne, Iron Islands, Aegon/Connington things, all of the new people in King's Landing, yeah I dunno, I think GRRM went a bit over the top.
