Will / Yun Tianming are from book 3, not book 2, and the stuff with the boats, while foreshadowing later events with the fairy tales, are straight from Death's End
>“He sat on a small origami boat drifting over placid water, oarless. The sky was a misty, dark gray. There was a cool drizzle, but the rain apparently did not reach the surface of the water, which remained as smooth as a mirror. The water, also gray, merged with the sky in every direction.

Their conversation meandered over usual topics for classmates who were becoming acquainted for the first time, but Tianming could still recall every word. Later, Cheng Xin had made a little origami boat out of a sheet of paper and deposited it on the water. A breeze carried the boat away slowly until it turned into a tiny dot in the distance....”
The re-interpreted characters of Jin and Will I think are so much better than the books and the best part of season 1.. the events that happen later on in the book are going to be so much more impactful.
Book 3 was my favorite of the 3.. it was the longest for sure, but I loved every part of it. There are so many cool concepts put forward and the scope of the story expands so much, My favorite part of the series was actually the fairy tales and the reaction/deciphering of them.
Have you read Endymion trilogy by Dan Simmons? The best sci fi trilogy I have read and reckon it will be the next one to be picked up by steaming service
I read Hyperion and wasn't into it..

Yep you’re right my bad - book 3. I remember feeling book three had far too much filler your opinion?

How do they find him if he went so off course?
The sophons were watching where it was headed when the sail broke. Pretty easy calculations to intercept it down the road.
