So never read the books so that's probably why I'm enjoying these series. It's so rare for tv/movies to be as good or better than books so I wouldn't hold that against it anyways.

The acting is great, the storyline is gripping and uplifting. I really wanted a fantasy series that's not so depressing all the time and this series just wins my heart. Needed my spirits lifted and this does that with a bit of romance/action and mystery intertwined.
