I know a lot of fans had mixed opinions on (spoilers for season 1!) the creators adding Sara in early and changing her skin tone to what it was thought to be in the books.
So what are your opinions on it? I’m very interested in hearing!
I’m not too sure how I feel about the creators (spoilers for season 1!) adding in Sara and making it seem like Janner like her, considering that he had only started (spoilers for N!OBE!) liking her shortly during the Fork! Factory! in N!OBE.
So what are ya’ll’s thoughts on it? :D
I like it! I would have been happier if they had stuck closer to the books, but I can forgive them because it's still a great story and because Andrew Peterson approved it. Adding Sara in early helped us to feel the gravity of what happens when the Black Carriage takes someone away, which was actually Sara's entire reason for being in the series in the first place (Andrew Peterson himself never expected her to show up again!). I did feel like they changed Sara's personality, not just her skin tone, but like Andrew and Chris said in a livestream, we never got to see what Sara's personality was like pre-F!F! in the books.
Now I really liked the first season, but the second season was absolutely glorious!!!!!
At first I was very opposed to changing Sara. Now, I’ve accepted it, but the Sara in my heart, and the way I will always imagine her, is book version.
I have mixed feelings about season one. I considered all of it mostly book accurate, except the first half of episode five. Adding Sara was unnecessary, but 🤷♀️ it worked out and speeded the show up. I’m just considering that the Fork! Factory! Might have been different if they hadn’t added her in season 1. I’ll always like the show, but not necessarily adding Sara early.
I don't mind Sara's looks I like her design but I liked in the books where they only mention her in OtDSoD then bring her back in the next book
