People watching Shadow and Bone who haven’t read the books will be judging people freaking out over the Kanej moments. Little do they know this is not minimal romance but is in fact peak romance, there is no room for debate on this matter. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

when we follow alina’s storyline it’s like watching game of thrones or harry potter but when it’s the crows suddenly we’re in pirates of the caribbean baby. guns, humor and shady business transactions

Me, reading any book with the crows in it:

Shadow and Bone TV series Comments

Episode 1 - A Searing Burst of Light

"I learned that darkness is a place"

The music score from the start is so full of tension!

Loved the DeKappel reference

The way Kaz senses Inej's presence when no one else can

"I only invest in the one of a kind. She isn't like you. No one is."

Pekka Rollins appearance had me shocked. Didn't expect him to appear at all this season

The Darkling's mysterious appearance along with him watching the skiff leave was so good

"I'll meet you at the Meadow" was kinda cute

When Dreesen's guard realised he had fake kruge😭Kaz's reaction was too funny

Poor Alexei :( He reminded me of an innocent lamb

The fact we thought Milana was going to be important...

Episode 2 - We're all Someone's Monster

Kaz and Inej's argument brought so many feels

The theme song as Alina is taken to The Darkling's tent🤌

"I know her better than anyone else." The scene after that proves you wrong Mal😭

Kaz's heavy breathing when Pekka's men restrained him...Such good acting

Inej and Kaz taking Jesper's shots🤣Poor guy can't get a drink

Jesper doing nothing but guarding the door made me sad :(

Kaz's intelligence and observance showing already

The way I despise Tante Heleen is so strong

Inej sneaking up on Jesper in the middle of his preening made my day

The Darkling using The Cut for the first time gave me chills

The fact Jesper was the first to call Inej an investment 💀

"Handsome decoy is also not a Jesper talent"

The slight change in The Darkling's facial expression when Alina says she didn't want to be more alone

Poor Inej manipulated by Tante :(

Kaz giving over the Crow Club will backfire...I can feel it

The way Kaz hesitated with Tante's hand...The details in the show are astonishing

Episode 3 - The Making at the Heart of the World

Genya's smirk when Alina talked back to the rude maids

Jesper smirking when Kaz and Inej argue in the carriage

We were so close for Nina to meet The Crows

Leigh hugging Alina to welcome her 💕

I hate Zoya even more, won't ever like her

Kaz with the goat was too cute

The tension between Matthias and Nina from the start

Loved the "Lives of the Saints" book reference

The taste tester scene was amusing

"This is how we die?!" + "I'm not throwing out the goat!" - Jesper's lines really are the best

Arken giving Jesper the goat for comfort 😭

Finally some Jesper appreciation with him saving them from the volcra

Episode 4 - Otkazat'sya

Didn't really like the fact that The Darkling already told her his true name

Jesper and Milo are the best duo

The Darklina fountain scene was so beautiful

"You and I are going to change the world, Alina." Yes I screamed

Kaz as Ivanovski😂

I loved their heist scene

Nina snapping back at Matthias was so good! Sh really embodied her character

"Shut up Jesper" + "I miss Milo" - Jesper is the bully victim of the Crows for S1

Inej and Jesper's act was amazing

"I have been waiting a long time for you." :(

Alina realising she's an independent badass and erasing her hand scar was great

Mikhael and Dubrov's deaths hurt, I really liked them, but the Stag was majestic!

Episode 5 - Show Me Who You Are

Jesper's smirk when the guard said "No guns" was everything

Alina choosing to continue to wear black was everything I needed

Genya and David's secretive glances

Kaz struggling with his limp was amazing. I'm glad they didn't erase his disability

Fedyor is so funny, he really tries

The Darklina kiss👏I can see what Ben and Jessie were talking about when they said they put emphasis on consent

The Darkling's face when he saw Alina in black for the first time

David trying to pretend like he isn't looking at Genya 🥰

Inej murmuring "Sankta Alina" along with everyone else was so wholesome...I love how they highlighted her faith

Once again, Kaz outsmarting his enemies 😏

The Darkling asking Mal about Alina's favourite flower just to give them to her. Sneaky...

The Darklina desk scene was so good!

"Unlike a spider, I only need one good leg." - I love Kaz so much

Inej killing someone for Kaz melted and broke my heart at the same time

Episode 6 - The Heart is an Arrow

The fact that The Darkling and Zoya had a past makes me 🥴

Matthias and Nina in the Whaler's Hut was exactly how I imagined it in the books!

"It's not natural for someone to be as stupid as he is tall and yet, oh, there you stand." - Go Nina😌

Nina making Matthias laugh like that made me go🥰

Inej once again being forced to kill :(

The small showdown between Kaz and The Darkling😳

Matthias being soft for Nina and giving her his fur cloak as they bond was so sweet

The way Kaz was immediately worried about Inej when he saw her injured. You could see how much he wanted to help her

David throwing a book at Jesper is a mood

When David raised his hand to speak to The Darkling 😭😭

Episode 7 - The Unsea

After that first scene, no one can say The Darkling is heartless ever again...

The creation of The Shadowfold was such an amazing scene! I loved Ben's acting!

The slight details that just show how Kaz cares about Inej despite him never outright showing it

Jesper being a drama queen when Inej was stitching herself🤌

The Stag Scene broke me...As soon as I saw him use The Cut I was just frozen😭

Kaz admitting Inej was right was such a wholesome scene! And then how he said he believes in himself and his crows🥺

Kaz's look of disgust at Inej calling Jesper, "Jes"🤣🤣

"No one's going to believe I'm that old." + "You tell yourself that" - Kaz really went there

"Fine, make me your villain." + "No mourners, No funerals." - 2 of the most Iconic scenes in the same episode? I can tell why it's Leigh's favourite

Episode 8 - No Mourners

Milo being Jesper's best friend🥰

Nina got her waffles!!!

"I will keep you warm." - I will never understand people who hate Matthias

I officially hate Fedyor...He ruined Helnik😩

Kaz saying Mal is apart of his crew made me laugh

Inej stabbing The Darkling was such a power move

Kaz coming to save Inej from the volcra🤩

The way The Darkling kicked Mal's ass gave me so much serotonin

Alina officially meeting The Crows was so good!

Inej's look of shock when Kaz called Alina a saint and the slight smile he sent her way!!! The development 🤌

Nina finally crossing paths with The Crows!!!!🚨

I kinda didn't like how easily Alina was just okay with Zoya after how she treated her

The Darkling coming back fully scarred made me gasp...I knew he was alive but I didn't expect him to look like that (He'll probably get himself tailored if there's S2)

Overall Thoughts:

I loved the amount of details and references to the actual books

Ben Barnes' acting was so good, I love the way he worked with his facial expressions

Kinda sad that Alina found out The Darkling's name so quickly and how she just told it to Mal, especially considering that it's something very important in the books

I just really don't like Zoya at all. Never liked her in the books, Never will like her in the show either.

The secretive glances and faint smiles Kaz would constantly send Inej melted me

Jesper's witty one-liners brought me so much joy

The fact that in the end we have all The Crows minus Wylan in the same place🥲

The way the series referenced The Darkling's loneliness, Inej and Kaz's trauma from their pasts was so perfect

I need Season 2 ASAP

[eboninthehedges]

I’m on episode 3 but my favourite bit of the show thus far is Kaz being all like ‘Jesper stop asking for a demolitions expert for every job.’ I was like OH MY GOD WESPER REALLY ARE SOULMATES 😭

[eboninthehedges]

KAZ "NO SAINT HAS EVER LOOKED AFTER ME, NOT LIKE YOU HAVE" BREKKER

[eboninthehedges]

i absolutely loved the scenes with nina and matthias they were literal perfection

LOOK AT THEM PLS

[eboninthehedges]

watching shadow and bone having only read six of crows is so fun hello inej hello jesper hello evil shadow man i hadn’t heard of before a month ago hello kaz

[eboninthehedges]

I truly can’t believe how seamless the show included the crows into the storyline. I was weary at first but it actually contributed to their character arcs that we see in SoC. Also all the kanej scenes and jesper’s comedic comments were some of the best parts

[eboninthehedges]

Jesper calmly walking up to the middle of the train cart and shooting all the shadow-fold monsters while cuddling a goat is not what I expected to see in the first season of Shadow and Bone but it sure is something I love to see.

[eboninthehedges]

David throwing a Ravkan edition of Shadow & Bone at Jesper

[eboninthehedges]

Me every time someone said a line from the books
