Ah well. Dovie'andi se tovya sagain, as they say. ;)There is one thing I'm really, really hoping the show doesn't do. I'll know early next season if they are planning on doing it though.

Ok. I plan to continue reading the first book once I have finished An Inheritance of Magic. Looking forward to it.
Doroga's Cousin:
The first book is definitely a little bit of Early Installment Weirdness like most people think Storm Front and Fool Moon do. I listened to the audiobook with I think Michael Kramer and Kate Reading? I definitely didn't love it, but I had free Audible credits and wasn't sold on the series yet. :P

Funny: once they entered a building at night, didn't stay long and when they got out, it was day. LOL. May have missed something in between, but my husband also said: "didn't they go in at night?"
Did you notice Antonio Banderas? At first my husband didn't believe me, but it was him.

I do not remember the building thing, but the time is quite random in the movies :)
I've noticed Antonio Banderas but it took me an embarrassing long time. When I heard him talking I immediately thought he sounded like him (which is weird because I am not good with voices and accents, I am more a faces person) but I did not think he looked like him. Until they showed a closer look and then I said "oh yes! He is Antonio Banderas!".
DC, I guess we will talk after the new season :). Also, about that character, yes, as a not book reader i have not idea what is going on with that.
(click to show/hide)The actor who plays the man who has been gentled in season 1, the fake Dragon Reborn is an Spanish actor, very famous for a show that a lot of people saw (not me). I find him super charismatic.

LOL. I have mentioned this before. I could not continue listening to it. Kate Reading is great. She did the Codex Alera and I liked it a lot. But I did not like Kramer's way of talking. It didn't fit this kind of story and I was too annoyed with him so I could not bring myself to listen to more. I also had a free Audible credit. I guess Kate Reading does the female parts? Maybe I'll try again.
I also have the ebook. They synchronize with the audible version. So sometimes I switch between reading and listening, depending on where I am and what I do. I could read the male parts and listen to the female ones.
@Dina:
I noticed the similarity to Banderas at first sight, but then I wasn't sure if I was correct until he looked directly into the camera.
You told us about the Spanish actor in WoT. I liked him, but didn't know him before.
On the 20th there will be the new Percy Jackson series on Disney+.
Mini and me are very excited. We both loved the books but were disappointed by the movies. The author wasn't thrilled either, so he decided to play a more active role in a new adaption. In an interview he said, he was happy with the outcome. I'm looking forward to it.
Dina:
I've saw the ads for Percy Jackson in Disney+. I have not read the book but I have the feeling a series will be better than a movie. And yes, I also read that the author was quite involved in this show, so hopefully it will be good and you and your girl/s will enjoy it.
I forgot to say that I managed to read more of the CS book, I am in chapter 53 I believe, so the end is near and things are. of course, looking...well, grim. Or Grimm ;D. I want to finish reading it so I can visit the forums and post about it.
