Dany just survived the attack from the Sons of the Harpy with an entire added and complex plotline around Mereen going on. She's currently MIA and about to be picked up by Dothraki.
Tyrion is a slave(?) in the hands of the Second Sons that is sieging the city. Jon Snow just died and we received the Pink Letter that says Ramsay beat Stannis, but in the sample chapters for Winds we see that might be dubious.
So the show / book continuity becomes very jumbled at Season 5 for most plotlines. The North and Essos stuff is elongated a little but doesn't go into Season 6.

i think likely scenario is a wheel of time situation where another writer finish out the series (not to be morbid but GRRM is in his 70s and not the healthiest).
regardless i would recommend reading the books. The books are structured with a different character POV each chapter so you get into the characters heads and understand their motivation significantly more. Some characters (Jaime for example) are basically completely different between the books and the show

Yeah I have been trying to get all the books for a while now, since I watched the full thing, so I'll Deffo do it. Looking forward to getting to know the characters better as well.
