Review of Episodes 7 and 8 Shadow and Bone on Netflix
We talked through:
Samantha, YouTube creator from the channel Thoughts on Tomes, is here with us today to talk about episodes 7 and 8 of Shadow and Bones Netflix!
We talk about how Samantha and Jane didn't like the Darkling (General Kirig) flashback love interest
That Mal and Alina have a lot more agency in the series
Samantha breaks down which team she is on between Mal and the Darkling
Samantha agrees that Mal isn't a fuckboy like he is in the books anymore
Our feelings on the look of the amplifier on Alina's collarbone and how it is different than the books
Genya and David's betrayal of Alina and how it came across on screen
Kaz, Inej, and Jesper's scenes continue to be standouts in the series.
Jesper and Inej's friendship arc
Darkling and Mal's faceoffs in the series - the fight and the Darkling saying he'll just wait for Mal to die
Alina and the Darkling scene where Alina said, "You could have had all this with me"
Alina embracing her badass self in series 1 instead of book 3. And that Mal doesn't feel jealous or upset that she is a badass
We go through how great is was having all the characters on the boat together and getting interactions that we never knew we needed
Kaz smoke bombing the darkling
The whole gang fighting the volcra & the darkling
The change in the ending of Alina not escaping the boat to save Mal and leaves everyone to die. Liked that she saves everyone and that everyone has a fun pow wow after
Alina giving Kaz the necklace.
Our hopes for season 2!
Dipped quickly into Witcher, Henry Cavill, and Viggo Mortenson
Our feelings of weekly rollouts vs full season drops
The other fantasy series we love that are coming up: The Wheel of Time and Kushiel's Dart series (two of Bridget's favorites of all time)
