Structure is going to probably be one of the most important aspects of the show going forward, with Seasons 1 and 2 pairing up nicely, more or less, with books one and two of George R. R. Martin's One of “Game of Thrones”’ most disturbing scenes – at least so far – came in season 5, when Stannis sacrifices his young daughter Shireen to the Lord of Light. In both the novels and the television series, Davos isn’t with Stannis when he heads south to fight the Boltons. 'Game of Thrones' season 5 continues to set characters on different paths from the novels, but with the same end destinations. Coming in to season 5 of Game of Thrones the producers were regularly warning viewers who have read the books that this season the show was going to begin deviating more often - and in more significant ways - from its Season 1's "Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things" concludes with Catelyn Stark arresting Tyrion for the attempted murder of her son, Bran. This triggers the war between the Lannisters and the Starks, as Jaime Lannister soon retaliates against Ned for his brother's capture. Tyrion's arrest is faithful to the first book, A Game of Thrones The fifth installment of Game of Thrones is known for its divergence from the books, though many other important plotlines still made it to the small screen. Jon Snow, Cersei Lannister, Arya Stark, and others followed similar storylines. But despite its differences, the show still included several iconic moments from A Song of Ice and Fire. Each season is based on one novel. So the first season was based on "A Game of Thrones" and the second season will be based on the second book, "A Clash of Kings," and so on. Well, it may not be in exact perfect book order, and it will be interesting to see what they do in books 4 and 5, which have overlapping storylines. Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss recently said that Season 6 of the show will not spoil the books, since “[s]o much of what we’re doing diverges from the books at this However, season 5 saw the series divert from the source material and make significant changes to Sansa's story.
