Read the books this series is based on after I watched the show. The series is not a disappointment for the book fans and it is understandable and enjoyable to those who are just wanting to watch the series. Great writing! The actors do a superb job! The story is engrossing. So much detail you want to watch the series again as soon as you finish it. The fantasy aspect of the story are not cartoonish but very well done. The chemistry between the leads sizzle and you are captivated by their story.
