The show, and as Kat was quoted as saying, is an "interpretation" of the books, which with what we've read and seen so far, is nothing like the books. It's so frustrating as a book fan, because you want to see the story you fell in love with in the books, come to life. I'm started to become really disappointed in Shadowhunters as well. I feel bad for Cassie. I can't imagine all she's feeling.

The show is being done by those who were behind The Mortal Instruments Movie. Same studio and executives, different writers and directors.

I'm giving the show a try, but without any expectations now that I've seen some of the slides from the script. The fandom not being supportive of each other is troubling. I'm with you, I hope what's going on between fans improves.

The whole reason that there is a world and characters for the show to use is because of Cassandra Clare's books. Cassandra Clare spent so much work creating these characters, this world, AND this story. Disappointed.<br /><br />I'm sure that if the show is nothing like the books, I'm probably going to hate the show.

I had heard about some of the changes and most of them didn't really bother me because I watch many TV adaptions, but Valentine living in a nuclear reactor?!! REALLY?! LOL. Okay. <br /><br />Veray- It's not by the same people as TVD. McG is associated with Supernatural. Also, while the first four TVD books might have been classic 90s camp, the later books were absolutely HORRIBLE. Trust me on this!

According to my mom who read the whole series there was very little of the books in that TV series and so when they announced who would be doing this one I knew that it wouldn't stay true to the books. So sad.Verayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06365401599391938796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606104563138198790.post-15359865771581924132015-08-28T11:09:59.744-05:002015-08-28T11:09:59.744-05:00Beautifully written, Katie! :)

I've read a summary of the pilot and whilst I did not like it at all, I will give the show a try. Cassie's books will always be my priority and if I don't like the TV show, I will just go back to reading and re-reading the books. I hope the situation between the fans will improve because right now I simply do not enjoy being on social media due to all the negativity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
