Books first, always. This way, you get two adaptations, one done by your imagination, the other by the makers of the show. If you watch the show first, it will always taint your own version of the characters. For example, as much as show-Holden has grown on me, I always imagined book-Holden a lot differently. 3. In May you can give your first copy of Game of Thrones away. :) SorasNobody • 12 yr. ago. Good idea!:) And just to be sure this was the reeisue you suggest i buy: Song of ice and fire 1- A Game of Thrones (reissue) hudders Castellan • 12 yr. ago. Yes, that one. SorasNobody • 12 yr. ago. The when you're finished with the show, the books will provide you with more plot, more characters (the show tends to either cut or merge super-minor ones), more worldbuilding ( lore for e.g. tends to suffer in the show). Plus, if you read the books first, you'll probably nitpick and hate at most of the changes the show does. 3.2M subscribers in the gameofthrones community. **PLEASE READ: ** r/gameofthrones is **shutting down indefinitely** in solidarity with other… In the words of George R R Martin, the books are the books, the show is the show. (Shows, now, I guess) The books are a considerable undertaking, I shit you not. 5000 pages in 5 of 7 planned volumes (a lot of people are also skeptical that both a) grrm will not finish the books and) that the story can be concluded in just 2 more volumes). While season 4 was a matter of weeks and in the book the end of the trial with Shae and Tyrions confession and the mountain vs Oberyn is the same chapter. So season 4 dragged out the trial a lot, but imo was better as Peter Dinklages confession was amazing. The show had what Tyrion said and thought in the books had it be dialog in the show.
The book Snakes are almost to a woman never present during events at all, spending almost the whole story locked in a tower. We don’t get any of their cool fighting prowess or even any interesting dialogue from them, all of which (one bad line notwithstanding) the show does. The Dorne storyline in the books is entirely carried by Doran and
They have changed a lot of things from the books, so it shouldn't be surprising. As far as "actual plot development", they developed Ramsay's character, introduced Reek, and initiated Yara/Asha going to try and rescue Theon. Those seem like actual plot developments to me.

The books aren't finished. For the most part, they go up through the end of season 5 of the tv series. There are some remaining things from the books (and also winds of winter preview chapters) that are covered in season 6. There are also some plot points in the show that we know came from GRRM for seasons 6-8. 0nd5w3.
