The good news is that after watching two episodes it does not appear to be as bad of an adaptation as Legend of the Seeker or The Shannara Chronicles. The bad news is that I am lumping this show in with Legend of the Seeker and The Shannara Chronicles. The other bad news is that Olivia Munn is not the worst thing about this show.

Updated 07/20/19: I have watched the first 3 episodes and re-read the book and can now confirm that, unlike the writers, I have indeed read the book and did not imagine it while taking hallucinogens.
Updated 11/19/2021: Why did I think this was better than Legend of the Seeker or The Shannara Chronicles. Maybe I was drunk. Cause The Rook is the worst adaptation of a book I have ever seen. Lowering my review from 2 stars to 1 star.
