I am really loving S2; every episode has been amazing.
Same here! I generally enjoyed season 1, though the last episodes were a bit of a letdown (due to Covid). Season 2 has been stellar and improved upon almost everything.
I've read the books, and to my own surprise, I'm okay with the changes they've made. I might get some criticism for this, but I think the show is doing some things better than the books. They've kept the spirit of the books alive, even with all the major changes they've introduced, IMO.
I agree. I'm actually really glad that the show is different, because now I get to experience this story that I love for the first time - a second time!
Yea I'm reading the books now and am still behind the show (though not by much now, finished book 1 a couple of days ago). And so far my experience comparing them with the show has been surprisingly favourable to the show's adaptation choices. From the negative responses I figured there'd be obvious mistakes all over the place. But so far I feel like they're doing a nice job, especially given the time constraints they're under.

Small examples ... introducing Liandrin and the relationship between Moraine and the Amyrlin early makes a lot of sense.
