After watching the second ep, it's pretty clear that they are gonna stray pretty far from the books to format it more like a TV show than the first season. In Season 1 they definitely kept that novel-esque feel to it, but I think the story is too massive in the second book to really take the same approach and fit it into 10 episodes (they would need at least 15 episodes to come close to doing the book justice).
Not that this is necessarily a bad thing...TV is it's own medium after all. And for the most part I like some of the stuff they've added in.
