      The tv show is alright. The books are brilliant!

      • In the middle of book 3…first 2 were really good!

  • +3

    Started watching season 1 on Prime.

      Enjoy!

      • Yes, enjoying it so far.

        Also just finished playing that old game - Alien Isolation - on my new 34" ultrawide monitor. Great game.

    Haven't watched any of the show but read all the books… Definitely worth reading 🙂

    • +6

      Oh man, If you have read the books, i'd even more-er recommend the show.
      it's so good.

  • +8

    as someone who watched the show before discovering the books - can highly recommend both mediums!

    • Media. Mediums would be more than one psychic.

      • +3

        You need to read some more of the written medium.

        • Which ones? There are several written media.

        Believe it or not, words can have multiple meanings.

        Essential Meaning of medium
        1: something that is sold in a medium size : something that is the middle size when compared with things that are larger and smaller
        I take a medium.
        2: a particular form or system of communication (such as newspapers, radio, or television)
        3: the materials or methods used by an artist

        • Doesn't my comment reveal that I know that "medium" has multiple definitions? I'm going with definition 2, just to be clear. (It's closest to the meaning - your list is not extensive enough) My reference to psychic mediums was just one example of "mediums" being the plural of "medium". But the plural of medium as per definition 2 is always "media".

        Why is this comment upvoted? The way schmoohin used the term 'mediums' is correct.

        • +2

          No, it isn't.

          "Mediums" is a plural noun and is more limited in use than "medium." It is also limited by the fact that a single outlet for communication may be referred to as a "medium," but multiple outlets for communication are always referred to as "media." Thus, the term "mediums" is the plural form of "medium" when "medium" is used as a noun—unless "medium" is used to refer to an outlet for communication. https://www.thoughtco.com/media-medium-and-mediums-1689581

  • Thanks OP. I've been meaning to pick up the books after finishing season 6 on Amazon Prime.

  • +4

    most likely you can add audiobook to purchase and i very highly recommend. these books are up there with the best narrations ive experienced

    • Audiobookbay…

        Love how this got upped and the other one got negged… haha.
        Bookmarked both, cheers Abrez :)

      Is that what audible Narration is? seems pretty cheap if so, but it reads like a feature to sync kindle and audiobooks if you have bough both and then bought this.

      • +3

        correct, its often cheaper to buy the kindle version then add audible narration, espeically when kindle versions are on sale

    Seasons 1-3 are great. Season 4 was alright. Season 5 was atrocious. Season 6 doesn't seem to be any better so far.

    • Season 6 is not good. It's sadly the weakest of the show. It's almost as if they wanted to get it picked up for another season, so they introduced extra plot points that go nowhere, but could in another season. It makes the last season confusing as hell in places. There's also a lot of wasted time, and just talking. The first 4 seasons were a wild ride of awesome. The last two were not, and it did not end on a high note, that's for sure.

      • +1

        Greatly felt like they didn't want anything after season 6, hence the plot drop-offs hoping you forget, rather than cultivating hype.

        This would make sense as the books after the end of season 6 have a massive time skip, I'm talking like 35+ years, none of the actors can come back. And I'm not keen on them just wearing old make-up for another 3 seasons.

          The creators have openly stated they want to do more, it's Amazon that's not supportive of the series continuing. The showrunners wouldn't have included the Laconia stuff if they wanted a clean break.

    Just finished book 1 on audible. Bloody hell it's hard to figure out the next book in the series on audible.

    • +2

      When on the first book in Audible, just click on the Authors name and it will bring up the list and shows the book numbers.

      • Unfortunately the iOS app and the website are vastly different in this case. Clicking on the author name brings up the list (no book numbers per series) and you can view them by popularity or release date. Neither was helpful in this case.

        • Agreed. The Audible App (Android version) is awful. Even when I had a series dowloaded, it was not obvious which one was next to play and had to Google the order in advance! Not good.

  • +1

    Have read, watched and listened. One of the best audiobook series I have listened too. Excellent tv show too

  • +1

    Books are also discounted on Google Play for those that don't do kindle. :)

  • Trying to work out the books in order.

  • Can definitely recommend these books, although the show is that good I ended up stopping reading after the second one and just watched the series instead.

    • +1

      While the show is really good, I reckon the books are even better. I definitely recommend sticking with the book series, it's very rewarding.

      • I second this. The books are much better. They usually are as books can easily describe what's hard to show on television, such as what's going on in someone's mind.

  • +2

    Nice price, too bad the 7th book isn't on sale. So many unanswered and new story arcs from the Season 6 TV series finale.

    • There are some differences between the first 6 books to the 6 seasons of the show. It is worth starting with book 1. I have listened to all on audible and the narrator is great. I feel transported there every time I listen.

  • Whats the name of the 7th?
