:)Yes, indeed, I started reading the books because of the show, only have one more to go. I am surprised I didn't hear about them before, they are so phenomenal. I really have found a new fandom, and am excited about it. I now wish there were a few more of the characters, and all in the show that are in the books, but it would be expensive to do. I would love to see films or miniseries based on each novel, like the Harry Potters have been. I think Paul Blackthorne makes a great Harry and I only hope the show gets renewed. It sure is better then most prime time garbage these days. So, a resounding YES to the question.
