Sorry but no. This Night King isn’t in the books, he is a construct of the show runners. What I am talking about is that there was reason behind the white walkers actions. Things were planned and he was the white walkers leader. There was purpose yet there was nothing even hinted at as to the reason why they moved on the south. The writing in the first seasons of the show was some of the best ever, but these last two season have been some of the worst I have ever seen. They are using the he does bad things because he is bad trope. They should have had a chorus singing M.J’s Who’s bad every time he hit the screen and then I could have at least laughed at the The Arya scene like I laughed while watching the movie, “The Room”.

exactly. we’ve been ahead of the books for a few seasons now. perhaps you will find your reasons when/if the books catch up.
