Definitely love the books and Rosamund Pike. 💜
If I'm being honest, had I not read the book series, I probably would have stopped watching the TV show after a few episodes. It's the most expensive cheesy quality tv show made. It's as if day time soap operas and B cinema had a baby. 🤣
As for the books, Jordan definitely borrows Tolkien themes early on. Things diverge pretty quickly as characters develop though. Jordan was an incredible world and character builder. So incredible that people wondered if he could ever finish the series. Haha. 😬
