Just binged Shadow and Bone so here's a thread of my thoughts (WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS)
So first of all I LOVED the settings and the costumes, absolutely stunning. Ketterdam looked like everything I ever imagines
Also I really think they improved Mal a lot, he is nowhere near as insufferable as in the books haha
Ben Barnes and Kit Young gvae the best eprformances imo. Darkling wasn't the same as in the books but I liked this version better. AND JESPER OH GOD I LOVED HIM SO MUCH
But I do feel like the crows got overshadowed by the grisha storyline. Kaz especially, was such a softie! Idk how to feel about that. In conclusion, SOC deserves it's own show pls Netflix make it happen
The more i think about it the sadder I am about what the show did to the Crows. No hints or hype about how Kaz is a ruthless criminal mastermind. Without the context provided by the books, the Crows just seem like a bunch of random criminals failing at every task at hand
So many typos in this thread lmao
Also, Show Mal>>>>Book Mal. They REALLY improved him
. Also show Darkling>Book Darkling, his manipulative side really came to light

The one constant is Alina, she was as annoying as always
