Расколотый мир

I miss the humour of previous books. It is still present, but with a dire overall situation not really calls for laughing.
On the one hand, the series is so cinematic, that I would like to see a TV adaptation of it. On the other hand, I'm scared of what Russian movie makers will do with it.
Now it is even sad to take a break from the books. But I want to wait until the ninth book is officially published.
