HBO’s Game of Thrones made another big deviation from the book series during last night’s episode and a lot of people are wondering what George R.R. Martin, the mastermind behind your obsession, has to say.
The twist regards the events of Sansa Stark and her planned marriage to Ramsay Bolton, son to Lord Roose Bolton.
For the sake of preserving spoilers, you can see last night’s episode for yourself. If you’ve read the books, some of the events will be new and unfamiliar.
That’s because Martin has elected to tell the same story in different ways, leading to the now large differences between aspects of the story in the books and show.
Martin wrote in his blog, “how many children did Scarlett O’Hara have? Three, in the novel. One, in the movie. None, in real life: she was a fictional character, she never existed,”
He added, “there have been differences between the novels and the television show since the first episode of season one.”
