8 things we liked and 5 things we didn’t like

The main plot of the series unfolds from two books, but there are scenes, characters, and references to an additional four books, including Six of Crows And Crooked Kingdom (which follows the Ketterdam Ravens) and a dilogy following Nikolai Lantsov; Scar King And wolf rule. To call the series rushed is an understatement. The characters were enough to keep me interested, but if Shadow and bone had just simplified the plot and slowed down the pace, and that would be a much better show.

Shadow and bone Season 2 is already streaming on Netflix
