I watched the TV series before reading the book and I think it made it easier to keep the characters straight. Otherwise I think all the names and people could be overwhelming to keep track of while understanding the world.

The book is less graphic than the TV show. There are characters you love and ones you love to hate. It is a wild ride in search of justice and peace.

Loved it. It reads like the box set it would become. You can't put it down. The Wars of the Roses in a fantastical world with mythic beasts. Perfect
