A song of ice and fire suffers from a severe lack of imagination. It has good prose, but overall, it is a pretty boring fantasy series. Dragons are big flying lizards, undead are boring death machines, the magic is bland. The witcher main saga is good, but the short stories are great. They have amazing dialogue, and are full of imagination.
The when you're finished with the show, the books will provide you with more plot, more characters (the show tends to either cut or merge super-minor ones), more worldbuilding ( lore for e.g. tends to suffer in the show).

I watched Game of Thrones before I started reading ASoIaF and found that all of the characters were really well done in the show. They're pretty much represented the way they are in the books (except that Catelyn is like 100x more crazy about Bran's accident in the book). The only character that seems completely different to me was Renly. I watched the show a few months back and then started reading the book series and wished I had read the book first because its kind of frustrating… I’ll just hit some of the big points because listing all the differences is border-line impossible. •Jon is a way better character in the books. He’s smarter, more ruthless, and more pragmatic than his show counterpart (particularly in the last couple of seasons). He’s basically Ned 2.0 in the best way possible. 0GRbMSF.
