I like how it says Deborah Harkness agreed to small changes in the story line. They completely destroyed the story. The books were thoughtful, compelling and brought you into the world of creatures. For those who have only watched the show please for the love if god read the books they are a thousand percent better. This is a rushed story that doesnt begin to explain all the intricacies of the plot. The romance is rushed, and there is no way that Deborah Harkness saw this and thought oh yes that's they story I wrote. They took a shell of what was in the book and destroyed the rest with pointless add ins that dont move the story forward or explain the plot. I wouldnt recommend watching this mess of a book turned movie. How can anyone who read the books think this was anything close to the amazing trilogy. Maybe it would do them well to read it again.
