Jonathan Stroud won the adaptation lottery big time with L&Co. Can you imagine!! Your world: respected, unaltered from your original intent, well researched by the team. Your story: faithfully adapted for the screen, with so many little details from the books hiding in the show as Easter eggs. Your characters: played by actors who make the friendship carrying the story SO believable and natural and all around lovely. Has there ever been such a good adaptation for a fantasy book series
#shadow and bone was good but i didn't obsessively rewatch it the way i am with l&c (partly because ALL of the story compels me here#where i am sorry to say i skipped nearly all the nina and matthias scenes and (to be completely honest) some darkling scenes)#and partly because this show's settings look actually lived in whereas shadow and bone is a little too shiny and a little too new#but like. other ones. percy jackson. harry potter. eragon. artemis fowl. my word the backlash was strong#jonathan stroud must be SO happy and honestly good for him! this is a BRILLIANT adaptation#and it must feel like such a gift!#lockwood and co#lc liveblog: take this with a grain of salt i'm sick and sleep deprived
