In between books, there is this 射雕三部曲 trilogy that has about 10 years gap between first and second book and a 3 year gap between second and third book. Jinyong's novel also have such elements but within the same story, there are multiple time jumps of 4 years, 16 years or even 80+ years in 1 of those books he wrote. Each book continues from the last with small time jumps which i guess is perfect for making shows with many seasons. They don't form a full story for each book. Then there are those books that Clare has written. There are shows that are adapted from the novels which approximately has 1 chapter for 1 episode. Then I went on to reading jin yong's wuxia novels (great literature material if schools wanna use them) and they are just a bunch of books of 10 chapters each to make one full story. Almost everything are the same in the movies and books. In the past, the books I read are like Harry Potter and Hunger Games. This is unlike any of the books I've read in the past. I think the show may have exaggerated their personalities too much though. All the plot points make more sense while having the same personalities as the show. Last month, i chanced upon City of Bones in a public library in my country so i decided to borrow it to read and I've gotta say it is really great, much better than the show. I still enjoyed the show (and the movie) a lot. I know people hated on the show a lot which is why it got low viewership and then cancelled in the end. I watched the show before reading any of the books. Want to partner? Send us a modmail!
