GoT was dragging ass through much of the books as well as the show. Really lost interest, never finished either. I was glued to the Expanse books, and the TV adaptation was...ok. They messed with the characters a little too much and of course F'd with the story, but it was close enough to be decent. Pity they had to get rid of Alex because of the actor being a douchebag, I think Amos could have been cast better, and Holden went through a lot of shit in the books we never got to see in the show.
It's the same writers for the books and the show. While the two aren't identical, I found them to be equally good.
I thought Amos was excellent. The only problem is that you never get to see things from his perspective, which is where he gets a lot more depth in the books.
Fair assessment. Yeah, we do get a lot better backstory on Amos because of that.
