I did put out a spoiler alert but fair point, my post has been edited, you may want to do the same yourself.Quote:

Final season starting 10th December
Final book was released this week, I'm about 2/3 the way through and very much enjoying it.Quote:

I haven't had a chance to read the books. Not sure at this point if it would add or takeaway from the series. Starting the books near the end of the series, might be better to wait until I've watched it then start on the books. Either way gives me a few things to watch/do this December. The second series of The Witcher is also out this month.
I'd wait till the series has finished. While they do diverge in places it will spoil the upcoming series. They're well worth a read afterwards.Quote:

Cannot wait for this, really looking forward to this
Got my copy this week, really need to get started on it. Might have to wait till I'm on holiday of the Christmas period but after waiting for so long for it to come out i can feel it sitting there calling to me.....
Edit: Also got the problem of when i have finished it, what am I going to read next!? I know there is a collection of related short stories that i might take a look at but thinking longer term!!!!
The other 2 writers that I liked (Tom Clancy and Terry Pratchett) are no longer with us and this was the first thing after those that i really got into and now its over!
Try Raymond E Feist
Or The Wheel of Time :) Or any of Sanderson's work - Mistborn - The Stormlight Archive - Skyfall.
Wheel of time is boring tho..
I really enjoyed the books, to be honest. There is a slog in the middle but the ending makes up for it. The TV show - still not sure. It needs a bigger budget.
I think it was earlier in this thread (it was somewhere on Hexus at least) someone mentioned John Scalzi's "Old Man's War" books. I binge read the lot, something I don't usually do, so thanks for the steer there whoever it was.
You (and everyone else in this thread) would almost certainly enjoy the Three Body Problem trilogy.Quote:
