Ok, so, this was better for me already.
I like that we are getting fragments of the past in little bits, and not all at once like in the show, which honestly kinda overwhelmed me (but I understand why it was done). It's also nice to see how different the novels are in some aspects, and I guess I'm also more used to the pacing and the descriptions, tho I still wish we had more showing in some places, rather than telling.
But I'm enjoying my self a lot. Let's see how it goes from here.
