Yes, I think so. It’s very similar to the books in that way, things got a little bit darker in the second book and the movie definitely represents that.”
What was the biggest challenge of bringing the second book to the big screen?
“The biggest issue was that some of the changes we made in the first one had ripple effects that affected the second book even more so. For the second movie, we really tried hard to stay true to the spirit and tone of the book and keep some of the major scenes, but we had a little bit more of an increase in changes between book and movie. But I think my readers will be happy with it.”
