I'm not gonna lie, the whole reason I picked this up is because of my love for the show, which I've recently started watching. I am having a lot of fun watching the show and just finished season 1 so I figured I would give the book a go, and expected to dnf it a few chapters in. So, you can imagine how shocked I am that I enjoyed this so much and am actually considering moving straight on to book 2!
There are a lot of characters and SO MANY time jumps (for reference, Demelza is 13 at the start of the book and 17 at the end). I definitely prefer the show but I really enjoyed the writing so I think once I've finished season 2 I might give the next book a try!
