I recommend watching the TV series before attempting to read this as it helps bring the characters alive in your mind, but there are some major differences between the series and the book. 

I've found myself talking and thinking about the book a lot, there's plenty to unpack about the relationships and actions of various characters. 

It is, however, very long and some sections feel rather surplus to requirements.
