Well, maybe. If memory serves, Dany is still in Mereen dealing with the Sons of the Harpy in the books also, and Martin may well have envisioned this also. Who knows.
But more importantly -- get used to them getting further and further away from teh books. Martin has a Robert Jordanesque problem in closing loose plot points and trending toward a conclusion. He is spending too much time meandering through the world he has created and which he seems to love so much he never wants to leave.
Figure HBO ends this series after season 7. That means they are 2/3rds of the way through it NOW. They only have 25 or so episodes left to do EVERYTHING they need to do. Everything they do should be done with THAT in mind.
