It's probably better that way anyways. The books are really good reads if anyone fancies themselves a fantasy/politics fanatic. An ending like that in novel format would really disappoint a lot of people.
Yea the show went downhill once they diverged from the book. They just did not have the creativity to plot a course forward on their own without the books guiding them. Partly the fault of R.R Martin for being so slow to finish the remaining books haha
