That actually might get me to read the book, lol. The movie was great but I always want more worldbuilding and conceptual stuff so if the book has a lot of that it sounds like a great compliment to the movie.

TV series, but, The Magicians. The books are very up their own ass, tbh. They feel like they were written to prove a point that starts with “well, actually.” The show, despite the writing being absolute garbage in some spots (don’t try to figure out the timeline of season 1, the answer is the writers forgot to think about it), makes the same point without slapping your hand for starting to have fun.
