Honorless Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Yup the trilogy and the duology. I liked the former much better. In case you haven't heard of it: It is a very YA book series. As is the Shadow Hunters chronicles and ooh boy it has been some time since I thought of Simon, Clary, Jace, Sebastian, I didn't really like the other series within the series so I don't really remember the other main characters - the Victorian love triangle and the forbidden Parabatai romance siblings. Oh. Yeah, incest warning - sort of. They're not really siblings. Eh, spoilers. These are aimed more towards a teen female audience, so if you're more for action or adventure, fair warning, you might not like these books all that much, Shadowhunters is specially more paranormal romance than fantasy. The Grishaverse trilogy and the Six of Crows duology aren't really action-y but they aren't really character focused either - the books were too short for that, but they're quite entertaining. Neither of the two are nearly as badly written as Twilight imo, which is just really, really dramatic and bland. Crooked Kingdom (book 2 of the duology) was kind of a disappointment after all that build-up, so I say stick to the trilogy. And the short stories! Where Bardugo really shines is her short stories. So, please get her short story collection, they're great! Edited March 1, 2022 by Honorless 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morningtide Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 I learned a cool thing the other day. So Ketterdam from the Six of Crows duology is loosely based off of Amsterdam, so many of the things to do with it have Dutch/Flemish/Belgian influences. And there's a guy (no spoilers) in Six of Crows whose name is Jan Van Eck. And apparently there is a famous Flemish painter from the Northern European Renaissance whose name is Jan Van Eyck! So that's just a really long way of saying than Bardugo really did her research while writing these books and it shows! It's always fun to find out something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sovereign Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) Netflix released the trailer for Shadow & Bone Season 2 a few days ago. We get our first look at Nicolai, it seems like they got his nature down well. Edited February 24, 2023 by The Sovereign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curry Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Is there a large disconnect between the books and the show? I watched S1 of Shadow and Bone and it was alright but I might pick up the books if they're just better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched S1 of Shadow and Bone and it was alright but I might pick up the books if they're just better. There are some changes as there always are when you turn a book into a show/movie but the Grishaverse books are a trilogy and two duologies. Functionally the first season is a mashup of the first book of the trilogie and the first book of the first duology. Season 2 is mostly the 2nd and 3rd books of the trilogy and about 1/2 of the second book of the first duology. There is also some new stuff in the show and some stuff that was cut. Shadow and Bone is a weird one because the books and show are both good, just different. I think they can be both be enjoyed for what they are.

Thats why the gambling halls and...ahem....other establishments made so much money It was a place to let go of all of your inhibitions and Kaz made it his business to take advantage of those loose morals And show barrel just isnt that Edited June 21, 2023 by Cruciatus_heart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edema Rue Posted June 21, 2023 Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 Yeah, I did feel that a lot, it just didn’t feel like such a…well like such a joyfully wrong place. But it did have a lot of the random humor that we kind of expect, which is nice, like Jesper’s goat in the beginning. (yeah let’s not talk about Alina) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't love their portrayal of Ketterdam as a whole. It just felt off. And they didn't keep any of the original dutch influence it felt like.

I love Milo and of course by the rest of the show I mean the rest of the crows :pp I think by mid-season 2 I was skipping every scene that didn't have the crows or Nikolai. I don't think I missed much lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sibling Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 Oh my goodness! Why have I been avoiding this show for so long? It's storming amazing and my mind is blown. I read the first book a while ago and I thought it was pretty good but I never finished the series. I couldn't sleep the other night so I figuerd I'd try out a new show and it's sooo good! I'm bringing the books with me to camp where I'll finally have time to read them. And why is Jesper so amazing? I very rarely like TV characters as much as I like him. Also, has anyone read the remnant chronicles? Because Kerrigan really reminds me of the Komizar. Like it's weird how similar their vibes are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
