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.
