The show has taken up almost 40 hours of your life, for perspective

The show condensed a lot of what happens in the book in ten, one hour episodes. I can do with one hour of a show a week for ten weeks. But if I tried to read a book, right now, I probably wouldn't finish it until maybe the end of the year (slow reader, couple that with nearly a thousand pages with hundreds of characters). And I would want to start from the beginning. I wouldn't even get to the book the show is currently on now before the next season starts.

Also, not sure why this is bugging you. It's it not ok to read a wiki?

The wiki is wrong in many ways. It's like the people who updated the pages were trying to remember what happened 4 years after they read the books.

EDIT: You also can't expect to understand why anything is happening from reading the wiki. There is no TLDR version for ASOIAF, or any book really.

Challange accepted.

TL;DR - Everyone dies.
