the reason tht ppl hating on shadow and bone books or even the fandom ticks me off is bcuz, shadow and bone is a perfectly great book, with good world and character building showing themes different from books released at the time, but the reason ppl dont like it is bcuz the book tried to sell to an audience tht wantedthe villain to get the girl and the bad guy to ultimately win. Neither the author nor the fandom is at fault here.
Hi i’m at episode 4 now and i’m just gonna share some of my thoughts bc SO FAR THEY’VE FIXED EVERY ISSUE I HAD WITH SHADOW AND BONE ?!
Mal is PERFECT what the heck I can’t believe that I love him now
I LOVE what they did with Alina’s character. Instead of going with the ‘i’m not like other girls’ shtick they focused on how different she feels for being half-shu which leaves such a more powerful impact on her storyline (I know they had said that was the direction they were going for in interviews but I was septic. I’m so glad to see they pulled it off extremely well)
The crows. Nothing needed to be fixed for them of course. Just happy they stayed as incredible as they are. I love them so much.
Not specifically about the show but I just peaked at twitter and the first thing I saw was a Mal fancam by someone that didn’t read the books? This is great right?
Anyways I feel like I have so much more to say but I can’t remember anything rn. I’ll come back after i’ll have watched a couple more episodes.
THE SHOW IS DROPPING IN THREE DAYS IM SO UNSTABLE AND OVERWHELMED
I’m soooooo busy with school this week but i’m gonna work my ass off so i’m free on friday and can binge watch with you all !!! i’m so freaking excited I can’t believe this is actually happening !!!
