I also read the books and watched this adaptation. This was good and 30 episodes felt right. Hope they will adapt the next 2 books. The story really get better and it's a lot more SF.

For the Netflix adaptation I feel like they won't be able to cover first book with only 8 episodes. They will surely need 2 seasons which means it's going to take a long time before Netflix will adapt all books.

Didn't know that a YouTube series even existed, thanks for the post! I loved the whole trilogy.

Thank you for the heads-up. I only read two chapters from the book and was put off somehow. I imagine it gets better?

The problem with this book is that you have to power through 2/3, maybe even 3/4 of the book to get to the best part. I was struggling hard reading it (I'm not the most patient reader), but it blew my socks off towards the end and couldn't put it off. I think I would still recommend though.
