Fantasy Authors Break Silence Over TV Adaptations That Stray From Canon
Fantasy authors are increasingly voicing criticisms of TV and film adaptations they see as unfaithful to their books, with examples like Wheel of Time, God of War, The Witcher, and House of the Dragon. The trend is boosted by authors’ broader reach on social media and the streaming era’s ability to produce longer, more faithful storytelling, though debates over how closely adaptations should hew to canon remain heated.
