>>213129027>>213129351The books don't have the turning evil plotline at all (it's most likely recycled material from a character the showrunners decided to cut)
I will say she is more likeable in the books because you get to read her internal monologue, the volunerable side of her, while the show is 90% girlboss shit. The whole Mereen plotline is a quagmire that shows idealism is for retards and you can't change society in a day.
That being said, yeah, the Dany/Essos plotline is easily the worst part of the books bar none. If Winds ever comes out the pacing of the sample chapters suggests she still won't be in westeros until the very end.
