As for an adaptation of priory, I’d love a live action one if they cast it as diverse as the characters were described in the book Bc omfg can u imagine the potential amazing cast w all these women! But then again casting is often a mess so if it didn’t stick to the book it’d be disappointing. Animated might be better for that &a the action sequences would look great, & it’d prolly be less grimdark Bc I think a live action might focus on the torture/violence/gore the way GoT does.
Heh, right, the length and the writing and the kind of story that it is, it just sticks with you. I felt the same way when I was done, still in that world.
It’s standalone but I think the author has mentioned both a prequel and a sequel. (She has a tumblr account where she openly interacts with readers, by the way.) There’s so much that can still be done with this world, especially with those trees, so I hope there’s more. And with f/f, of course.
Hmm, you make such a good point, those characters do deserve to be live action. And they’d be awesome roles for actresses who don’t usually get a chance to be in fantasy. I would hope an adaptation wouldn’t focus on the violence or, worse, manufacture its own, the book isn’t light reading but most of the violence isn’t…cruel, you know? It was the action I was most worried about, the money it’d take to do the action scenes, including a full on dragon war on the sea, would be exorbitant. So I guess there are advantages to both! I just hope there is one.
