minus-squareblackbirdbiryani@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·23 days agoI think this is a good contender for the show being better than the book (which was incredibly dry Sci-Fi with almost no character content).
minus-squareDiddlydee@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·22 days agoThat’s just the first book. The other 3 books were much larger and had plenty of character content.
minus-squareblackbirdbiryani@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-222 days agoHonestly, I didn’t bother with the other three after reading the poor reviews for it, maybe I’ll give them a go. Edit: Actually, I’ve read the second one, which was definitely better. I just have read that the last two ain’t too great.
