I've said a million times, the book series didn't start getting really good until the book they're about to cover.
Most time when people ask about the books, I say skip the first book and just watch the movie.. Cuz the movie covered the important parts, and the rest was good writing, but kinda boring.
But that boring first book were two amazing seasons of the AMC show. And season 3 is starting arguably the best 2 book arc at a time when the fandom is really big online.
Talamasca might be gone, Mayfair might fizzle out.
But the vampire show gotta do the next two books in full. Which should be at least 3 more seasons.
