Woah what the hell, I had no idea. That's really... unfortunate. I've heard it's a good series, it's a shame he didn't even get to see its release.

The series is definitely great, give it a shot if you're into Sci-Fi.

I've read and enjoyed the first book, but I didn't realize the series apparently covers all 3, so now I gotta get through the rest before I jump in. Definitely looking forward to it, though.

If you are referring to the Netflix series, it doesn't. That's only covering the first book. There is a Chinese series though (30 episodes) that might; I haven't watched it.

Hold up... Have I been deceived? >.> Thanks for letting me know! In that case, I'll absolutely be watching it.

Part of the plot is from the third book:

The Netflix show is covering all three books, what are you talking about? Season one is the first book.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

There is only one season and it has not yet been confirmed for more, so as of now it's covering the first book.

I literally said season one is the first book.

They’re probably saying the current episodes only cover the first book. I think if the show runners get their way they want to cover all 3 books but last time I checked it hasn’t been renewed for a second season yet.

It's big hit for Netflix, it'll get a second season.

Correct. Season one is the first book. That's what I said.

The Chinese series is much much better though. 8 episodes is way too short and its been dumbed down a lot. Plus setting in Oxford??

The Tencent show wasn't great either. Sure, it's very loyal to the first book, but it has no pacing at all. Just a constant slog to watch without any lows or highs. The VR scenes were very cool however.
