The Sand Snakes were not trying to kill Myrcella in the books — and Myrcella isn't even dead yet. Most book fans are pretty mad about this.

One of the biggest crimes of the "Game of Thrones" show is how they've portrayed Dorne. The Sand Snakes killed Myrcella in the show out of vengeance for Oberyn's death. But this makes no sense, because Oberyn was against hurting innocent little girls, as he himself said many times, so why would he want Myrcella killed?

In the show, the Sand Snakes still loudly want vengeance for Oberyn in "A Feast for Crows" and "A Dance with Dragons," but not by killing Myrcella. They favor open war against the Lannisters (but not Myrcella), and end up being locked up in "A Feast for Crows" by Doran to prevent inciting a Dornish rebellion. 

Also — in the show Ellaria Sand is presented as the ringleader of the Sand Snakes. In the book "A Dance with Dragons," Ellaria is concerned that Obara is getting ahead of herself with the idea of war. She supports ending the feud now with the deaths of Tywin Lannister, the Mountain (whom Dorne thinks is dead) and Amory Lorch. She is returning to her father's seat with one of her daughters as of "The Winds of Winter," not participating in any wars or rebellion.
