This show completely butchers the original story to try and be some kind of Game of Thrones like show. The book shows real character development, with a young hero who is full of self doubt and quick witted. The series show a shallow boy who rolls through an adventure based on pure luck. The show writers completely made up back stories and a completely different plot to be able to introduce magic into the show. It feels forced when you know the original story, where there's not so much a mention of magical powers. This might have been an OK show, if it wasn't just merely using the name of a fantastic book to try and get an audience.
