As someone who hasn't read the books I'll agree that there does seem to be a lot of new characters coming in thick and fast, a lot of whom seem to look pretty similar and whose names are mentioned once in passing and then never again. I can probably only name about 40% of the cast, if that.
I'm still enjoying the shit out of it, but there are times when I don't really have a clue what's going on and I can see a lot of people turning off this season. Then again it could just be me not really paying much attention. Everywhere I read though it almost seems as though you need to have read the books to fully comprehend what's going on.
