It's hard to swallow at some times, not easily comparable to western sci-fi (especially with the many characters with hard to distinguish names). Still a masterwork. I'm not the biggest fan of Netflix, but they sure know which stories to pick. I had the exact same experience with Game of Thrones: listened to the audiobook, then read the books, watched the show, read the books again... I'm already sure I will read this trilogy again, there's just so much in it.
