I’d like to discuss how the show went awry, as well as why. Despite having plenty of things going for it - beautiful costuming, a fantastic cast, solid visual effects - Shadow and Bone season 2 is not even close to the same level of quality as the first season. Imagine my surprise when Shadow and Bone season 2 cut out enormous swathes of the books while simultaneously cramming so many plotlines and characters in that it became a jumbled mess. So going into season 2, I expected the show to continue in that same vein. I was pleasantly surprised by how deftly the series wove together the story of Sun Summoner Alina Starkov, whose story is chronicled in Leigh Bargudo’s Shadow and Bone trilogy, with that of the Crows, who are from her Six of Crows duology. Shadow and Bone season 2 is out now on Netflix, and while it expands on the show’s debut outing in a number of interesting ways, it also makes a lot of weird choices. The first season of the show was great, and one of those rare examples of a television show that improved on its source material.
