The show doesn’t do justice to the books AT ALL.
I’ve watched the first 2 seasons of the show, begrudgingly, and they were horrible comparatively. The books are modern fantasy masterpieces, real depth and real consequences. And real growth. The show was a pale imitation of what the trilogy offered and they ruined many aspects of it. I’m happy Lev Grossmans work got to be shared for more people to see, and I hope the people who watched will read the books. I’m so tired of people saying “this is the one time where the live action adaptation was better than the source material” because this is one of the worst adaptations I’ve ever seen.
