    Tolkien is a bad example, my god that man was boring AF. Never got past a few chapters in any of his books.

    The Expanse does it right. Perfect balance of character’s thoughts, scene description, all that.

      I loved the shows… I’ve never actually read a book after watching a show based off a book.

      I know people get upset about shows (although not necessarily The Expanse) as they don’t line up well with what they visualized while reading it. I wonder how that would go the other way given something I have seen and have a sense about, but wouldn’t be able to visualize while reading.
