Wow, where to start? I went into this having heard mostly negative things - but I thoroughly enjoyed it for the most part! It definitely enhances elements of the original series, and I found Snow a compelling main character. Lucy Gray felt a little one dimensional at times, if anything, I found the relationship between Snow and Sejanus more impactful. But yeah, other than the pacing being really up and down and not in a good way, I can say this has made me exciting not only for the upcoming film, but for a re-read of the original trilogy next year!
