It's tragic really, I actually quite like everything apart from the script. I knew from the get that they would have to cut a lot of stuff and merge some books - which to be honest is fine, plenty of stuff that doesn't need to go in - but I don't understand their need to manufacture melodrama. It feels like every episode nothing happens but we're still flying through the plot.
Just a complete failure to match the tone/cadence of the books. So much time should be spent traveling and exploring the world, but the show chooses to sit around and have overdramatic unexplained scenes that won't make any sense to someone who hasn't read the books. I'm still not sure who the target audience is.
