#shadow and bone book

[renegadesstuff]

It's been six months since the Crows returned and I've missed them ever since 🥺❤️

[filmmarvel]

actual physical pain.

This was one of my favorite moments with Genya and Alina I wish that the show included it. =(

[fictionalnation]

I just finished reading Rule of Wolves and I need emotional support I also need to know: IS LEIGH GONNA WRITE MORE BOOKS IN THE GRISHAVERSE??? Because that endinggggg whattt

Also if you would have told me I would fall in love with zoya by the end of this i would think you are crazy but here we are

[blackmultifan]

Now why am I 13 chapters in, and The Darkling just randomly kisses Alina???? I gotta deal with Alina/Mal now Alina/Darkling? Oh, brother 🙄.

Reading this book made me realize that I hate when the romance isn't the main plot. I hate an a, b, c, d, etc, romance plot.

If the plot is about a zombie apocalypse, why do I care if Sydney likes Paul or not?

currently reading the shadow and bone trilogy (recently finished the first book, started the second one today) and oh my god the sheer willpower it is taking me not to look up anything about the show because i know i will get spoilers for shadow and bone as well as six of crows 😭😭 so painful

[doctoralpha]

My brother's gf gave me her copy of Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo. So I can start reading the series finally. I wonder if I should order the others right away...

-There was no part of him that was not broken, that had not healed wrong, and there was no part of him that was not stronger for having been broken. No one knew who he was. No one knew where he came from. He'd become Kaz Brekker, cripple and confidence man, bastard of the Barrel.

The gloves were his one concession to weakness. Since that night among the bodies and the swim from the Reaper's Barge, he had not been able to bear the feeling of skin against skin. It was excruciating to him, revolting. It was the only piece of his past that he could not forge into something dangerous.-

Initial Thoughts on the Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows Plotlines in Season Two

Some spoilers for the overall plot! Please keep the comment section free of spoilers, I’m only on Episode 6, but will definitely finish today.

As you know, the thing about this show is that it combines both books. Shadow and Bone, of course, isn’t exactly amazing, whereas Six of Crowd is fantastic. Putting both books in the same show sort of puts the bar at the same level and holds them to the same standard. A step up for Shadow and Bone, but a step down for Six of Crows. For Shadow and Bone, the question is always ‘what weaknesses from the book can they change to improve the show’, whereas the question for Six of Crows is always ‘what can they keep the same.’ They’ve done a great job at making improvements to the Shadow and Bone side of things, they’ve created a truly great adaptation. Can I just say that Patrick Gibson, Lewis Tan, and Anna Leong-Brophy are absolutely perfect for their roles? They’ve really exceeded my expectations for the Shadow and Bone side of things this season. But sadly, that’s still a step down for Six of Crows. Having to make up prequel material out of thin air (that somehow includes all 6 characters and has something to do with the Shadow and Bone plot) certainly changes the course of events for the Crows. Even in Season 1, they were pretty loyal to the books, but even that prompted a change. But to be honest, that never really bothered me. Season 2 on the other hand, wasn’t bad, but it was kind of all over the place. Instead of having a coherent, Season-long plotline, their story is split into two parts: taking care of Pekka Rollins (a premature plotline from the books) and retrieving Sankta Neyar’s sword, Neshyenyer on behalf of Ravka. My primary issue is simply that these storylines didn’t mesh together very well so as a whole, their plot this season felt kind of all over the board. While I was surprised to see them taking down Pekka Rollins already, I can’t say I wasn’t expecting some sort of change like that. And overall I thought they executed it really well. It was especially really exciting to see Dirtyhands finally show up. It really felt like watching Kaz from the books, a lot more than Season 1. But it was a pretty quick jump from that to finding Neshyenyer, and once again, having them travel across the world just felt a little too unfamiliar for them. If you’ve read any of my opinions about book adaptations before, you know that I’m not one to be opposed to changing the source material. Books and their adaptations should be viewed as separate things!! My issue with this season is less about the change, and more about the overall coherency (pacing and writing) of the change. The other thing I wanted to bring up was Jesper and Wylan’s storyline. This is probably my biggest source of disappointment so far. Their relationship felt quite rushed, and it honestly has me wondering what the Six of Crows season or plotline is going to look like, and if they’re still planning it. While I certainly hope they are, I’m just trying to make sense of why they would advance their stories so far. Anyways I’m really enjoying the season overall and I’m super excited to see the last bit of the season!

No thoughts head sab

it should be illegal for netflix to print their little "now a netflix series!" circles DIRECTLY on the cover of books that inspired shows they've cancelled
