A pretty quick read - relative to its length - if you're like me and have seen the show multiple times. I don't usually read a lot of fantasy, and I think it's partially because I'm not very good at visualizing descriptions of literally fantastical people/places. So for me, having seen the show helped a lot (and yes I know it's not exactly the same, especially character ages!). I really enjoyed reading it.
