It was entertaining combining modern world technology with what I would call traditional fantasy. A difficult combination I think but the show did it well. I liked the characters and the general story line which I knew nothing of, ending on a bit of a cliff hanger I would like to see a new series. I haven't read any of the books which reading other reviews I guess there are some. I am more of a traditional fantasy fan, I would love adaptations of Robin Hobb, Raymond Feist, david Eddings or Laini Taylor.
