Bezos enjoyed it so he had Amazon get it and make the next few seasons. The books are setup like three trilogies of story. 1-3 tell one arc, 4-6 another, then 7-9 a big time skip and the finale. Amazon picked it up for the middle arc which happens to be slower, different, a lot of the mystery gone, and very special effects heavy with lots of big locations. So it was already stacked against them. I'm glad they took a crack at it though. I liked them well enough and people are overly critical of them.
