I'd be willing to bet money that starting next season, we will see complete blending of the books and it will be all retold in Benioff/Weiss' way. We will still have all the major events happen and I still think it will be great, though. It's a very well-done show and the showrunners really love the story. I have no problem with them just mixing 2nd half of SOS and AFFC/ADWD all together

I actually enjoy them taking some liberties in the series because it's nice to still be surprised by how things may end up on the show. JMO though. I know there are some people who hate it being even a little bit away from the source material.

The scenes between Arya and Tywin this last season give me hope that Benioff/Weiss can absolutely pull off a not-completely-true-to-the-page adaptation.

There is really no other way they can swing it as a tv show IMO. They clearly can't have half the cast disappear for a season at a time, so I think you are right on with what we will see. And the story will flow better with AFFC and ADWD mixed together anyway. Not having Theon and Bran completely disappear for a ton of time will flow better as well.
