It depends on the storyline. Many of them are past the books now. Even the ones that aren't (such as the Iron Islands) will probably deviate quite a bit. It probably doesn't pay to be totally faithful to the current source material at this point since the future source material will be non existent. Next season we'll be in "A Dream of Spring" territory. I think we'll be lucky if GRRM has finished "The Winds of Winter" by the season 7 premier.
At this point all they can do is write the best show they can, and I'll be happy if we end up in the same zip code at the end. I have my doubts if this story will ever get finished in book form.
