Erm. This book is thoughts and flash-backs -- how the hecka are you going to turn this into a series? I love how Amor creates an atmosphere of ~no thoughts just vibes~ but ... they're going to turn this into an action series won't they?

i don't remember there being too many flashbacks in this book? and it is slow but stuff definitely does happen, it just all takes place in the hotel

Maybe I mix up my reads, but I thought his pondering definitely goes to short scenes that play out his thoughts/memories?

I can see them focusing on Nina, Sophia, the actress, the Count's sister and his return to Russia, Paris, the thematic talks about Galileo and Tolstoy can go into one scene over dinner and wine.

Oh, different pov might work?
