I think the author wrote the first book in wing it mode, then squared up his lore for the rest of the run. The first book was short man. It was about like....the olde sharrif then the mayor mostly if i recall.

He released the first one as a short story first, then it got popular so he released more short stories in the series. Eventually the short stories were collected into 3 books.

Yea. When i read them they were all self published kindle short stories. Wool 1 was tiny. Wool 2 was like a half book.

Don't give away anything, but is the show faithful to these "short stories"? Or is it going in a different direction?

Last episode of this season was terribly executed.

I haven't read the books, but I have a love/hate relationship with the show.

There were A LOT of things I really enjoyed and looked forward to every episode but there were nearly as many things that annoyed me and felt poorly executed. The infuriating part is that I can't put my finger on a number of the things that really bothered me.

I'd still give it an 8/10 overall.

Its fairly faithful but changes things around. Youll be shocked to learn that the black judge lady basically wasnt a character in the books.

There were some sub plots that didnt get featured in the show, but its prolly fine.

Nobody was a lesbian in the book

The book also made the "timespans" seem way longer. Like over months vs days some times. But i think tv is bad at that sort of thing

They teased something at the end of the last episode of season 2 that leads me to believe they are all in for the book's arc, including the other trilogy he wrote.
