5 reasons why the Incarnations of Immortality books would make a great series
By Brian Miller
5. Incarnations of Immortality has the scope to make a TV adaptation worth it
You can translate novels as movies or as TV shows, with each medium having its advantages. TV was a good fit for Game of Thrones, for example, because the books are detailed enough to support a long story, but the Harry Potter books probably wouldn’t have worked spread out over 10-episode seasons. Incarnations of Immortality would.
Let’s look at On A Pale Horse for an example. In that book, we learn early how the lead character becomes the incarnation of Death. We learn how he adjusts to that role and how it affects his mind as a former mortal. That alone easily covers three hours of the first season before we dive into the meat of the storyline itself.
Each book is similarly rich. And the timeline of the series is complicated enough that it will take some time for it to be properly laid out, time not available at the movies.
