I'm currently reading the books for the first time, just finished callibans war. I was wondering, should I watch the serie along with reading the books? Does each season represent a book?

The worst thing they did though was not completing the series. The true ending is great and would have made for pretty epic television.

To be fair the time skip before book 7 means we can wait a good long while and still have the rest of the content make sense if it's ever produced.

I don't think we'll ever see a TV serial for the remaining books but I wouldn't be surprised if they made a couple of movies to cover the rest of the story. Hell, if they could swing a long-form miniseries with 3 2hr episodes per book I'd be happy as a clam.
