@Coin Also to Matt Ruff's credit, he is incredibly enthusiastic about the adaptation. In an interview he said: Well, I’m not the person who turned it into a show—it was the showrunner, Misha Green, who did that. I gave Misha my book, my notes, and my blessing, and then I got out of her way, which has proven to be an incredibly smart decision on my part. I’m thrilled with the series. It’s very faithful to the spirit of the novel, while not being afraid to change things up and take the story in surprising new directions. I couldn’t have asked for a better adaptation.
