One of the things that has bothered me is they don't really tell us what's going on with some of these places. What's up with the Storm Lords in the Stormlands? In the books they mostly back Tommen after Stannis was defeated at Blackwater (purely for survival), but in the show we don't know what's going on with this whole area that has men who can fight. Also, wouldn't Arya free her uncle? He clearly would want to rally his bannermen now that he is free and has his son (who should be with Roslin at the Twins). In the books they establish that Jaime sends Edmure and Roslin to Casterly Rock.
Well Jon Connington\ (and the Lost Aegon Targaran) Had just landed with the Golden Company and were gathering support in the books. The queen wanted Lord tyrell to deal with it but he refused because she had her daughter locked up but the high septon. (a whole story arc they kinda left out)
Yeah in the books Jaime is headed to the Twins to deal with that. but in the show Arya has already killed them(freys) (at the twins atleasT)... and no mention of edmire. (also the book leaves it open that robb starks baby is still alive)
The Riverlands Littlefinger is Lord Paramount of the Trident, Lord of Harrenhal Which means he technically has the riverlands(by title at least).. even more so that hes backing the starks and the north as the riverlands fought for rob. So while in the books his plans were different (harry the heir) in the show its gone a bit differently and jon is king in the north which should help rally the riverlands to them again.
