I didn't know they made this into a movie! I just reread the series earlier this year. Loved your commentary 👌

I re read the book as i was watching the movie and while I could see their intentions behind some changes Iulttimately feel that naratively it just doesnt work. At no point does tally or any othe carachter feel real and that sucks because i do enjoy the books and would have loved the full series being adapted

Agree with this assessment! I don’t think the choices are necessarily bad; they just don’t feel grounded.
