    Agreed, most of the characters in the book are so flat, and only do things because the plot needed them to do that thing.

    The Netflix series managed to make the character’s motivations seem more believable which I appreciated.

      Funny, I didn’t mind that the characters’ motivations were written differently. Much more about their pasts and their circumstances than their outward emotional states, their irrational fears or momentary actions, and their short-term gains. It more all about the situation, the collective motivations, and the achievable ends.

      I liked reading a Chinese sci-fi novel. It was alien twice.
