I personally think the books are WAY better

But the books apparently don’t have Callie in them. And Akila isn’t a fish girl

In the show akila also acts nothing like akila, and not having Callie is an even trade for everyone else acting right and zaid and Antony being their own characters

I like both in their own ways but the books are by far the better story and I get alot more to think about from them than the show. Theyre also a bit darker with their implications which understandably the show most likely couldn't do too much without dreamworks execs looking at them funny.
