You should
always read the book first! And stop after the third, because GRRM loses the plot, both figuratively and literally, with book four. Then you can watch the series which at least will tidy up some of the mess of the fourth and fifth books and achieve closure.
[P.S. If you’re squeamish, the HBO series might be too hard to take.]
