This is probably the adaptation of the books, well for tv, and to be honest, I expected it to deviate a lot from the real thing entirely, but suprisingly like the books it kept me wanting to know more. The story was based on the books of course and probably focused more on the couple's main issues and fast tracked the whole novel. Plus since it's tv, added some twitch in the writing. Also loved the settings/locations of it, I can picture it like in the books. All in all it's a great series with a potential in making big, if you just wanted to watch a fantasy series. I do like the actors as well, Matthew and Teresa Palmer has good chemistry together. Same with the others as well. I hope they finish this series and not be canceled. Best of luck to the production!
