BOOK REVIEW: Legacy of Ash by Matthew Ward

Hello, hello. It's been a while since I wrote a book review on here. April was a hectic month and I barely read anything. However, we've started off May with a bang. I've already shared my review on GOODREADS but I decided to do it here as well.

Before I start, I want to thank NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with the eARC which I got approved for after I bought the book since it came out earlier in the UK. READ MORE

It is common knowledge that if a book becomes famous enough, it gets adapted into a film or a TV show. Most of the time these adaptations aren’t even good according to a lot of the people who have already read the book but at the same time, the ones who have watched the screen adaptation may decide to read the novel as well. There are even a lot of memes online, showing how big the differences between the screen adaptation and the original itself are. One of those memes shows the tip of an iceberg above water and how much bigger it actually is underwater which is a great metaphor for the changes made in the film. So, what about games and their screen adaptations? Are there any differences? Is the meme just as valid for games and their films as it is for books?
