While all the plotlines in the show are ahead of the point the novels reached, there are still many differences between the episodes and the material source. Season 7 Main article: Differences between books and TV series/Game of Thrones Season 7 The Arya and Bran subplots continue from the fifth novel, A Dance with Dragons, along with parts of Davos's POV, Small Council, Dorne, and Meereen subplots. The Greyjoy and Tully/ Frey, and Samwell/ Gilly journey to Oldtown subplots are pushed back from the fourth novel, A Feast for Crows.

Originally the fourth and fifth novel were going to be one very long novel, but Martin had to split them apart because it had grown too large. The two novels take place concurrently, with the fourth novel detailing events in the Seven Kingdoms, while the fifth novel follows events outside of them (at the Wall, Arya and Tyrion in the Free Cities, and Daenerys in Slaver's Bay). These differences can be found between the fourth season of the TV series and, roughly, A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons, the fourth and fifth novels of the A Song of Ice and Fire book series.
