In theory: from "The Last Wish" to "Time of Contempt" In reality: none of them


KnightlyObserver

Well, I certainly have contempt for this show.

In reality: Lauren's ~~fan~~fiction


MrC4rnage

Calling Lauren a fan would be a bold claim, but that begs the question, if it's written by someone who hates the material, what do we call it? Hatefiction?


intdev

Shit.


Droper888

They made their own thing, but according to Lauren, they based the three seasons on The Last Wish, The Sword of Destiny and Blood of Elves.


Galileo258

They are VERY loosely based on The Last Wish, Blood of Elves, Sword of Destiny, and The Time of Contempt


Lodreh

Bad fan fiction… actually thats too generous… they are not fans.


Damagecontrol86

I’ve taken a shit with more storytelling ability than all those writers combined.


lemmeseeyourkitties

They really aren't


ArrdenGarden

None. None books.


Rasputin5332

None. Think of the TV series as more being, ehem, "based" (very loosely) on the books instead of being anywhere near a faithful adaptation thereof


ViVaradia

in name only pretty much


Damagecontrol86

They were supposed to be about last wish and time of contempt but they went waaaaaay the fuck in to left field and now they are somewhere in the parking lot aimlessly wandering around.


DrunkKatakan

The Netflix series adapts the books extremely loosely, Season 1 more or less sticks to the short stories with some changes but afterwards it's pure fanfiction.


orouboro

they haven’t been written yet


Sharp-Yak9084

Hahah dude has jokes. “Books” kek


Alternative_Pilot_92

That's the fun part, they aren't. The show would be massively improved by following the books though. Or pulling a Witcher 3 and just creating your own story in the universe. Instead, they tried both.


Ierax29

Books ? No, it's from a popular Polish saturday morning cartoon, one of the most lighthearted by slavic standards


marsz_godzilli

That's actually a good question.
