I just finished book 6 of the expanse. I live this series so much! I love great hard magic systems which this is, and the author is a bit Frederick Backman esk with how well his writing gets me to feel the emotions and moments of the characters.

I've tried to watch the TV show and quit after the first season. I was just so confused. Once I finish the books later this year I'm gonna watch the series to the end of it.

That's not surprising. That's a normal trade when covering mediums. Sometimes it bothers me too much but normally I'm okay with it as long as the spirit is there.

Occasionally the medium switch makes the book better. Jurassic Park for example. The ending in the book is just bad and the author didn't do nearly enough to get me to care about the characters. The movie fixes all of this.

Though the book opening is better than the movie IMO.
