Great post! I really liked this movie, as well as the Netflix series. The books are ok, but the writer bounces around so much it can be hard to get into, and to follow I found. I wish the movie did better, but they tried to cram the first couple books into the movie and really did not do it justice in my opinion. The Netflix series has moved through it at a better pace, but not many TV series are as good, and extravagant as a movie can be.
