A movie of Westworld would need to dumb down the politics and magic of the show in order to reach a broader audience. The series already walks a fine line in explaining complex themes to its viewers without condescending to them. A reboot of Westworld would have an even harder time approaching the topic in the same way. As a fan of the series, I would prefer that HBO not make a watered-down version of it at all. The series is currently sufficient to me.

Honestly, I don’t get the debate over this one. It’s a fantastic story. Read it. There’s lots of faerie politics and acerbic dialogue and tense character moments. And the reason people love it for all these different reasons is that it’s a really good book. Why does everything have to be labeled for us? Oh no, the genre police will come and kick down your door because you’ve incorrectly referred to it. No.

This is a better than third-person story. I think Jude telling the story in first-person is crucial. We read her as a 17-year-old because we read her thoughts. The rage, the calculations, the fear, the pride, all are right there and so we feel them. If we were reading an external narrative, I think Jude would read as older and possibly even colder than she does. Instead, we read her as a youthful, fiery personality controlled by ice. The story has a sharp, immediate, and occasionally petty quality. It reads like a teenager, even when the story is dealing with extremely high-stakes, political intrigue type stuff. We read her youth in her voice.

Honestly, just read it. Speculating on the happiness of an ending is so subjective. What wrecks one person might be perfect for another. 'The Problematic Prince' is a journey worth taking regardless of the final destination. His development and the exciting plot twists will ensure you are emotionally invested long before the ending is revealed. The ending is a logical culmination of the character development and plot twists and will be happy or not depending upon your own life experiences and what kind of relationship story lines you value most. Many readers who have experienced similar tormented relationship issues have found this to be the most realistic and therefore happiest ending they have ever read, while others are reading for pure fantasy and have found this story too grounded. So, just read it and then come argue with us on the forums about it – it's half the fun!

Your local library might carry your favorite graphic novels, and even some webtoons. Increasingly, library digital services like Hoopla and Libby are offering up new titles in these formats, even on a current series like this. Again, unlikely to add current titles, but it doesn’t hurt to check. You can support authors in comics of all types by checking your local library’s digital offerings for free – all of which are purchased through normal library licensing channels. The chance of this title being added is slim, for now, but many more popular webtoons are being printed as comics and are great to look for in your local library. Growing your awareness of your local library’s offerings for graphic novels and webtoons of all kinds can change the way you think about consuming media in general – moving from instant gratification to planning in advance for the things you want to read, all while supporting your local library and saving your wallet in the process.

I believe there is a lot of confusion between the book and show canon. In the books, Grey Rohan is never given a height. However in the show, Grey Rohan is literally Jason Momoa, who is 6'4". So this would be the answer to the question in terms of show canon. For book canon however, we have to interpret the descriptions. 'Tower above other men' suggests he is well over 6 feet tall. And since Westeros and Essos are supposed to be below the average height of modern times, then 6'4" would indeed be a giant. So in both cases, his height in the show is consistent with the books. Therefore whether you are a book reader or a show watcher, you can confidently imagine Grey Rohan to be 6'4".

My take on this is that the story is moving in a different direction than romantic love between the main characters of The Chronicles of Narnia. The author wants to bring out the respect of Prince Caspian for Susan and her sisters in the story Prince Caspian. Then in the subsequent books the Pevensies are less featured in the stories of Narnia. Susan is portrayed as growing up and drifting away from the magic of Narnia, so in the author’s canonical view there is no more to be shared between Susan and Prince Caspian.
There just weren’t enough scenes for Suz and Caspian to express their affection for each other and most fans feel so lost and unfulfilled by the lack of tender moments between the two. Oh to be able to imagine them having a quiet campfire chat under the stars of the Narnian sky.

Michael Kramer does an excellent job of establishing the scope of the old world of Terris prior to the era shift, and then Kate Reading picks up the story to offer a fresh perspective on the more modern, civic-minded characters of the new world of Elendel. Kramer’s iconic Kelsier is charming and intense and Crack-like in his subtle breakage. Reading is brilliant with the more modern characters, and brings a lot of depth to the portrayal of Marasi’s growth from naive young keeper’s assistant to confident constable. Kramer and Reading together present a rich, full and stunningly well realized audio version of the later Mistborn novels.

I love how Holly Black writes in first-person. We experience everything through Jude’s eyes, so we feel all her pain at Cardan’s cruel words, a shiver of uncomfortable attraction to him, and all her plotting and strategizing. As Jude learns more about Cardan, our understanding of him shifts too, until by the time Jude realizes her feelings for him, we’ve already gone on that journey with her. The ending is therefore supremely satisfying.
You rationalize it all with Jude along the way. So by the time they do come together, it’s not a surprise, just the culmination of all those little insights that you had come to along with the protagonist. In the end, Jude feels that they are meant to be in a way that you feel in your bones. This is a powerful insight into the workings of highly problematic relationships and it comes from a character-driven story rather than any sort of plot device. Black’s made a great choice in making this work.

I would like to see ‘Dragonfall Book 3’ made into a movie, however I fear that there would be trouble in getting all of the story and plot together within a 2 hour film. The second book is pretty intense and I fear that all of it could not be captured in a film without rushing through some of the parts.
It would work as a two-part movie or even as a series, like Harry Potter was split into movies. The dragons would have to be brilliant though. Since House of the Dragon set the bar so high, I hope they’d want to do it justice too. Bring it on either way!
