There are characters they have made up, LOTS of events they have combined, and now they are making up a lot of story lines that were not in the books at all. They are going so far with it that they are making big changes to character developing events and cause and effect actions by characters on other characters motivations...
The cool thing about the books is that you could really understand what motivates characters to be who they are and do certain things. Some of that is being lost in the show as of the last few episodes.
