Lets not stick to the book at all !
People really need to get over the fact that TV show will never align with the books exactly and realise this is a TV show, not a broadcast picture book. They share a title and characters and are set in the same world but the details of book and TV never have to align.
The last book in Martin’s ASOIAF saga, A Dance with Dragons, was published in 2011 and fans have been extremely eager to read the next book – especially since HBO’s series version Game of Thrones is expected to catch up to most of the Dragons’ storylines in the upcoming fifth season (the trailer for which just leaked online today). Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss, who have been told Martin’s long-term narrative plan, have said they want to do two more seasons (and only two) of the show, which still means a couple years of largely paving into virgin story territory and possibly shooting the conclusion to Martin’s saga long before the author’s book-reading fans have any idea how the epic fantasy tale will end.
My take: Thrones is a rare instance in pop culture where a story’s books and filmed version are equally exceptional. The first five seasons were largely “spoiled” by the books. That Martin’s remaining stories will be potentially “spoiled” by the show is a seismic reversal in how book-readers experience the story – just not necessarily a bad one. I’m looking forward to eventually watching the show having no idea what will happen next. And ultimately, if Martin’s books will be of higher quality if he takes more time to write them, okay, take more time.

Oh in that case may as well replace dragons with automobiles. Cause they dont have to be the same.
