The story is out of step lock with the books. The Red Wedding was in the middle of the book so I kept waiting for other shoes to drop that never did.
The continuous dropping of shoes does get old though...
That is the hardest thing about George Martin stories. He will write an entire book centered around characters that he is going to kill before the end of the book. By the end of the book you are reading about characters you hardly got to know.
All I can say is don't get too attached to anyone.
George Martin is one of those guys who has character ADD. I think he just gets fed up writing about a character and really only enjoys creating characters more than continueing flushing them out. He wakes up one day and just decides he has had enough of a character then kills them off.
Basically the more he writes about a character the greater the chance of them dying.
If I were HBO I would get off the George Martin train and turn the story into something bigger then Martin ever made it. Otherwise GoT is going to end up just irratating its viewers and will die a quick death.
