We got about two episodes into this and haven’t felt any desire to carry on after our break to watch the Olympics.

A ringing endorsement so far... :(

That was a lot of identical naked ladies getting shot there in episode 8.

Up to episode 5 now. It's got better, quite enjoying it.

I had terrible trouble staying awake during episode 2, but managed to get through it on the third attempt, but it has indeed got better.

It was pretty good in the end.

I agree with Bamba it failed to explain what was going on very well a lot of the time. Seemed very rushed as well at the end, given the slow pace of the middle episodes. Can't really remember the book, so unsure how representative it was, but it was all right.

I can’t remember the book either, and I definitely don’t remember the revelation about Rei that was in the penultimate episode. It just seemed like a typical overdone ‘shock’ plot twist that I found annoying, but at least it didn’t have a really stupid ending in the finale.

I was so excited for this, and now I'm just "meh".

It looks like they are doing a version of Woken Furies, but have lifted some elements from Broken Angels too.
I’d have preferred they stick to the books or do something entirely new but I’ll still watch.

You should hope it is better. Why settle?
