The first time around, I lived, ate and breathed seasons 1-5 in the space of maybe 2 months. I WAS beltalowda. I've never had such an immersive life experience in my 58 years. Maybe I lead a boring life, and my husband loved the show along with me, but he says he didn't think in belter like I did. Beratna, sasa, pensa. I was fucking using belter in my head those 2 months. I came out of that period mourning not being able to watch anymore for a year. And I was so lost without that world and those characters that when season 6 came out it was like looking at a photo album of a lost close friend, knowing it would end after season 6 made me hate it. I swear I'm a relatively emotionally healthy individual with a real life...! Really...I swear! Lolol.
And at no point in that wild ride did you think about reading the books or their novellas?
Oh I did, and probably will.
Do it! They are truly great reads, or listens even, Jefferson Mays does a great job with it in my opinion
