I suspect that if there hadn't been a TV show, TWOW would probably have been released by now. I also would never have read the books, most likely.

Viserys died. I don't remember Dany being that patient with him in the show, but I guess I'm misremembering.

Also, it's amusing how casually this book kills of major characters compared to the later seasons of the show.

Watching S1, Viserys seemed very obviously marked for death.

Viserys is also much better in Dany's internal monologue. She thinks back fondly on some of the lessons Viserys teaches her as kids, and it's much clearer that she owes her life to him in the books. He just seems like a fuckboy (which admittedly, he is) in the show.
