Seems like this series will really start to take turns from Martin's vision. Only the broadest strokes will likely be the same. Could be more interesting that way.
Its not so surprising that the shows executive producers would be utilizing the broadstrokes of content from the as yet unpublished last 2 books to the ASOIF Series. Series V & VI will be trimmed down iterations of book 4a A Feast of Crows & 4b A Dance With Dragons while incorporating broadstrokes of books v and vi into series v & vi leaving room for the show runners to give an original ending to the series preceding the books ending.
