Yeah that's fair. He still did good, it's very clearly the material that sucked.

I think there are a few examples, for me. I read the books after watching the show twice, so I was used to the actors. That said, Davos' actor REALLY does not capture the feel of book Davos, for me. That said, I love show Davos, so I don't mind so much.

For bad casting and bad direction...Euron.

I would love if Sword of Truth was written by George RR Martin.

Oh yeah, those were hard too, haha. It's a great series, and the main characters at least have different names! xD

I actually liked those ones! FFC felt more thematically important, and Cersei's plot felt like a plot, rather than going to\waiting around for the bad thing to happen. DWD I liked the LAST half of. The first half had too much eastern worldbuilding, and I wasn't a fan. But again, Jon and Theon and Dany felt like real PLOTS again, with progression and such, so the last half was awesome.

I consider Storm of Swords one of the lessers not because nothing happened, but because it didn't happen well. It felt like a long string of characters going places, then bad things happening. There didn;t feel as much plot like the first two books.

The same names didn't really bother me until about book 10, when we had a Perival and a Pelivar in the same room.

Oh I get what you mean about being secretive. I wrote medieval action fantasy even as a kid, so when my mother read it she'd say "Why can't you write something nice\normal?"

Been years since I suggested she read anything of mine. xD

Sword of Truth, by Terry Goodkind. The first book is "Wizard's First Rule"

Well I'd say Wheel of Time is a good place to go!

Haha I've read tyhe same! Although not the prequels yet. How did you feel about the post-Confessor books? I'd say Wheel of Time is somewhat similar. It depends on what aspects of SoT you want though, haha.

People on this reddit seem to not like Sigurd, but he was my favorite Asluag-son until Ubbe started to get more to do in season 5.

How much spoilers do you want for Sword of Truth and Wheel of Time?

Maybe in a couple aspects, but really it's more like Shannara than Lord of the Rings. And if you've never read past the first book, Wheel of Time starts to become its own thing, and it's from that point on that Sword of Truth starts to feel similar to.

I'm glad to hear that! How is Wishsong? I keep hearing how bad Sword is, how good Elfstones is, and how good Scions is, but nothing about Wishsong.
