The Letter for the King

Dont pay attention to people complaining about it not living up to the book, movie and series adaptations never live up to the books.

However, this series was a huge letdown and waste of time. I wasn't a fan of the main character, he just didn't fit properly... sometimes actors and actresses just dont look the part. This series had a lot of potential but they massively screwed it up, a lot of build up for nothing.... the villain barely used his powers and we never get to see just how much chaos he can cause, the whole build up to the battle is resolved in maybe 2 mins and of course they had to shove a scene in there just because.... it literally served no purpose but to please the lgbt community, there's a right way of writing it into a series or movie instead of just throwing it in there.

Massive letdown.... the trailer was better than the series

I was really enjoying the series until about episode 5. The story, characters, and visual backdrop really draw you in, and I think most of the young actors gave fine performances in spite of what some other reviews are saying. The problem, though, is that the writers decided to throw in a bunch of plot twists in the 3rd act. The attempted twists do not work and send their story straight to hell, adding it to the growing list of failed plot subversions which now include the likes of Last Jedi and Game of Thrones, S8. Screen writers need to get off the plot twist bandwagon that they all seem to have jumped on since Game of Thrones made it a thing. Somebody needs to remind them that most of the time, plot twists do not work and are a dangerous thing to attempt, because if done poorly they merely undermine the good elements that a story has built up.

The horse was amazing. The plottwist didnt make sense, actors did their job - casting directors didnt. Again the horse was amazing tho.

Letter to the King has been chosen to be the all-time most popular Dutch children book in the Netherlands. This is quite a remarkable feat, because youth literature in the Netherlands is of high quality.

The book is a coming-of-age story. A young man is asked to fulfill a dangerous quest on the night he is supposed to meditate on the duties of knighthood and should not speak for that knight, praying in a chapel and has to pray.

Then comes the knock on the door and the key-sentence: 'in the name of God, help me.' And Tiuri has to decide at app. page 2 what he has to do, give up his dream of becoming a knight by breaking his vows, or stay put.

What this series has to do with the book is a riddle.

The idea of suggesting that this series has anything to do with the book is a pure disgrace.

But hey, we're only in it for the money now aren't we.

Very pretty.

Everyone is scripted to be an idiot.

Really childish.

Could have been really good,
