The novel's language has been cleaned up for the TV show but the overall tone is slightly darker. The writer's style was often quite breezy and even flippant at times. That doesn't come across in the show. Plotwise, they've added Avasarala into the first series and she doesn't actually appear until book two.

I would say yes. They aren't written in a particularly beautiful or complex style (unless food is being described), but they tell the story with good old-fashioned efficiency and are very pleasurable to read in a "no frills" way.

Don't get me wrong, mortal instruments is definitely an awesome series, but in my opinion, the infernal devices is better because of factors like the setting and characters. ... I have read the Mortal Instruments series twice now and would recommend it to anyone who loves a good fantasy and romance book.

The book is an overall very good read, and hard to put down at certain points. While it does contain violence, sex, etc, the descriptions are not nearly as graphic as in the show and usually very brief.

YES. It's good enough to read twice. He has a unique ability in the books (that doesn't appear in the show due to it's need to be concise), to give entire cultures, clans, tribes, houses - a multi-dimensional feel. You start to think how they think, feel how they feel.

Yes, George RR Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice novels, on which the series is based, were bestsellers. ... But blood and breasts alone don't explain why the show became a social media phenomenon. This is because Game of Thrones, for all its grimness and brutality, represents a return of old-fashioned escapism.

The UK versions have single dialogue quotation marks, 'Like so. ' The US versions use double quotation marks, "Like so." I think it's worth it to have both sets of books. They're a British series and are a bit more authentic in British English.

Spiritually, it's very truthful and accurate," Tse told reporters at a Television Critics Association panel in July.

No. Lexa doesn't exist at all in the books. The show is loosely based off the book by Kass Morgan (Although it was filmed before the first book was released). However, in the show, Lexa and Clarke do have a relationship.

As things stand, it has not yet been confirmed whether we'll get a second instalment of the series on BBC One (but as one of our favourite TV shows of 2020 so far, we're hoping it will be back). However, we do know that the story spans five books, so there is plenty more source material to work with.

If you are pretty interested in the Halo lore, then yes they are good. Judging just in terms of general fantasy/sci-fi novels, well then, some are better than others, and they might not all be considered great compared to the norm.

Yes, the books are considered canon. That whole dispute with the "changing" of the events that were in the book "The Fall of Reach" and the game "Halo: Reach" is simply because, there was a ten year difference between their releases. ... Books are secondary canon.
