I have an honest question. First off I did not read the books but I did watch and enjoy GOT, my question is were the black characters in HOTD also in the books or were these injected into the script for the sake of wokeness? Aside from that this can not compare to GOT, this series is leaning very much towards soap opera.

If I'm wrong so be it but wokeness is ruining so many movies and television shows these says I would hate to think this series is another casualty. When books that are much loved are fundamentally changed to suit an agenda we as a society have lost the plot and we are already spiraling down the drain.
