Everyone always talks about their favourite adaptations, but let’s flip it and talk about adaptations of our favourite books that are just…terrible. Awful. Horrendous. Inaccurate. This is inspired by my very specific thoughts on the Odyssey after watching it this afternoon in the cinema. So, please feel free to insult adaptations you think are just terrible ❤️

I’m really feeling a bit disappointed in the RWC so far. At almost 50% & have not felt as emotionally invested in any of the characters as I usually am with the earlier books.

It also has felt like book 1 & this have been slower, book 1 really dragged for me & overall so far both of them do not have as much happening overall as the earlier books.

I’ve been really frustrated with the constant repetitive parts. Like we’ve been told at least 20X how babies born with too much of the wilds features are supposed to be left out & the ones who weren’t aren’t allowed to mate etc.

I don’t know if it’s a poor editor issue, or something else but I had the same issue with the 1st book about a couple random topics that kept repeating.

If this was a different author & I was just reading this book as a standalone or book 2 of a 4 part series, I’d prob not be so critical however, upto now the ROE series has been so amazing, action packed, extremely dynamic characters, multi plots & subplots all happening along with all the references to the entire series, etc & I’m really feeling like RWC is lacking in all of those things.

I’m curious if anyone else is having the same experience with these & also does the rest of the entire series go on like this? If so, it’s going to be the biggest let down in my 46yrs of being an avid reader😭I’m crossing my fingers it’s just a fluke & not that Hobb got burnt out, or was trying to finish the whole series under time constraints or something!

I put this on hold for a few weeks but I'm so glad to dive back into it. This is the most fun I had with a book in a while !! The ideas are ridiculously perfect 😆
