I read Eye of the World that weekend it first came out and had to wait for each one. Them were the days. But I agree, the world is fantastic. And I don't think I've ever read any fantasy novel with as good a system of magic.
Seeing these trailers make me more and more that they will stay with the primary gist of the books. Oh there will be changes and deletions, but I still think we will recognize a lot from the books in these shows. Not like other books turned into tv or movies. The Bourne movies are a perfect example. Other than a couple character names being the same, the Bourne movies have almost nothing to do with the plot of the books.
Do your kids read anything at all. I'm afraid it's becoming too old fashioned with all the visual stimuli these days. I tried to get my granddaughter interested, she doesn't want to read at all.
The two season sword of truth show was like a whole new book. Had the same people but they changed sooooo much.
Either of you tried audio books? I’ve seen good success with them getting kids into books/story telling.
Worth a shot, the last time I did that it was a cassette in my car. CD's nowadays or an app on a handheld device I imagine.
Actually they had one of the highest budgets before the LOTR series that Amazon is also doing.
Kids reading is going by the wayside I’m afraid.
We have had similar experiences. My step son was a video game junkie from very early on. My son was more of an action addict. He’s always wanted physical activity. When they were young I tried to get them reading. Mason wanted nothing to do with it but Linc started reading all of the Goosebumps books. I was very excited. But as he got older that faded too. Even my daughter won’t commit to reading. My Mother in Law loves to read and can read a book in a day. I was hoping my kids would have that rub off. But it’s a different age.
That’s a short staycation. Only going to show 3 episodes the first week and then one episode per week after that.
All good! And I likely won't watch them just once, gotta watch a couple times for little things I missed. Don't do that with many shows at all but with all the reading I've done of the series kind of invested in this show.
