Varys and Tyrion used to completely own bones and then all of the sudden they became a couple of irrelevant turds. That sucks.

Not even counting how Varys has a spare Targ (well he says he's Elia's baby son) that he has had raised up as a hidden prince/spare to the throne but the kid is dumb as poo poo.

Book Cercei also has this fun part where she is drinking way too much and gets fatter and blames her servantwomen for shrinking her clothes.

Book Cersei: "Hello Taena Merryweather, do you spy on me for Marge?"

Taena: "Yep."

Book Cersei: "Ok but will you be my friend and not do that?"

Taena: "Sure."

Book Cersei: "OK cool, here's all of my secret dumbass plans and also I want to experiment with you."

Taena: "Thanks."

Please don't forget how drunk she is on top of being an idiot. She was a super gorgeous woman who didn't take anything but her own feminine wiles seriously. Even her kids are just an extension of her own self loves.

She completely rules.

The show did some things better (Arya and Tywin at Harrenhall, Cersei and Robert marital talks, Hardholm) and the books did some things better (Stannis, Ninja Arya, Sand Snakes/Dorne plotline).

One of my favorite Book 4 things is Cersei making Aurane Waters her Lord Admiral - all because he was young and good looking and she wanted to bang him. When poo poo hit the fan with the Sparrows, he promptly hosed off to the narrow sea with her newly built fleet and became a pirate lol.

Between this and her getting fat off of overdrinking, does anyone ever tell her (before she executes them) that she and Robert Baratheon were the loving same?

It's pretty overt that she's trying to be her father. She laments several times not being born a man, and that people feel like they can question her because she doesn't have a cock. She's right to an extent, but in her quest to become Tywin she winds up more like Robert - banging girls and all.

The book scenes with Kevan laying sick rear end burns on her and Jamie are money. (Another character way better in the books)

Cause she made another baby with Sam is my guess.

No seriously Cercei in the books is loving hilarious. She seriously thinks Tyrion is behind everything, up to and including the attack on her daughter, and when she does her walk of shame, unlike the show, she's described with all the flaws of having multiple kids and drinking nonstop would do to you, flabby skin and all.

Robert actually tried to be a father to one of his bastards and wanted to take her to court, and Cercei pretty much said she'd kill the girl. So yeah book Robert was kinda cool. I mean he was still a lech but still. He does have a bastard from boinking Stannis' wife's cousin....on their wedding night in the honeymoon suite. And that kid gets a present from him every year, but it's Varys who sends it, and Robert finds it hilarious.

Also kudos to the Red Wedding because Robb does NOT bring his new wife to the party, and even Cat thinks how lovely the band is (because they're not musicians). Also she doesn't kill Frey's new wife (though that was better in the show. I'll find another.) but his halfwit grandson. Cat does have this internal panic when she realizes her throat is being slit because she doesn't want her hair cut, Ned loves her long hair but she's pretty dead by then.

Oops, we wrote a scene where the character in the middle of his redemption arc rapes his sister. Our bad!

One of the silliest changes from the book was them changing the name of Theon's sister from Asha to Yara because they assumed the audience would be too dumb to be able to tell the difference between "Asha" and Osha the wildling.

Yara is the name of the world's largest producer of fertilizer, maybe they're trying to tell us something

There's the nutty religious uncle, the uncle who raped his brothers when they were kids, and the big dumb brute muscle brother who at once point thinks his niece wants to be his wife, and then even he's all Uhhhno.
