Not the best written book I’ve ever read, but the plot is interesting. In all fairness to the author, Im reading the book after watching the show, and I found the show much more compelling, as I feel it gives slightly more depth to the characters and reasoning behind their actions. I wonder if I’d have continued reading this book/series if I hadn’t seen the show. Read out of curiosity, and while this is now satisfied in one respect, I would likely not reread.
