I want to start off by saying, please don’t judge the books based on what ever this series is because it is not the books. Without getting into spoiler territory, I’ll use an analogy. Take a Porsche 911 Turbo and you want to race it. Instead of taking the car to track, hiring a great driver, painting it, tuning the engine a little .. you decide to build your own car with the parts of the Porsche. But, you don’t really understand how the Porsche works you just think you do. You don’t take the great parts like the engine, turbo, drive train. You take the name, the general look, a gas pedal, a few dials off the dash and the color. You then start to build your own car. Along the way you decide this new car you are calling a Porsche needs some useless features such as lions tail hanging out the back and instead of wheels you are going to use cinder blocks. Also in building it you decide to just leave some parts off the car, like a steering wheel, a few doors, an ignition etc. You make it look like a Porsche, you hire some new drivers and a couple experienced Pit crew people and you show up on race day with something that resembles a Porsche but no one understands how it would even start and run.
That is this series so far, it isn’t too late fire the writers hire Sanderson to consult and turn it around. Please.
