The main character changes very little despite his growth in skill, and the heroine is a little girl with a weak backstory. At less than half the length of my usual fare, the characters all felt flat and weak. Normally when someone turns a book into a movie, they need to trim a lot of fat in order to fit the important parts in.
Funny, I know, since this was actually the original but I was having a great time. It's like they had taken a premise that I loved and put a whole new spin on it. The different characters, similar premise, and subtle changes made the book brand new for me. Immediately I loved the changes that I was seeing. That may not have been the right mindset to go into a book with but it can't be helped. I picked up this novel after realizing that the movie I enjoyed was originally based on it.
