    I'd just like to take a moment to thank Freya for always posting this trout. Even though I see pretty much all of it in /r/gameofthrones or GRRM's LJ, seeing it again is exciting all over again.

    Too many spoiler posts arghhhh!

    Also is this season only going to be half of Storm of Swords? So if I read the book while watching the season like I did for the first two I'd have to wait a whole other year to finish it?

    Supposedly. It kind of makes sense - my copy of Storm of Swords is in two parts, and each part is about as thick as the previous books.

    It's not as long as the previous two books combined, but a lot more happens in it, because Martin doesn't have to spend as much time introducing new characters. So yeah, I can see why they'd need two whole seasons to tell it. However, judging from the episode titles it doesn't look like they're going to stop halfway through the book, or else they're going to move some material around. Some of the material appears to come from more than halfway through.

    I'm assuming they are not just going book by book now. Last season had stuff from SoS. Since the way the further books are written they all kinda happen at the same time just well different books. So I can see how the season's aren't so much book by book anymore but event by event. So two seasons for one "book" sounds more realistic. This season will have stuff from the future books as well as SoS which gives credence for the need for more seasons.

    Yeah, I think they're trying to make the events as chronological as possible. The events in the books weren't always chronological.

    They're actually going to show things that happen/are explained in A Dance with Dragons, so as others suggested, the book to show chronology has pretty much come and gone. It might be a good idea to start introducing some of the minor POV characters who have significance at this point to cut down on how many roles you have like having

    They're going to start mixing up the storyline a lot more this season. They started this last season, but they said this season they'll continue to move Jaime's storyline up. I don't remember exactly what else they mix around. Assuming you're more concerned about the book spoiling the show than vice versa, I don't imagine it'd be a problem to read along with the season.
