#i did enjoy the show (minus the Pekka storyline)

Been rereading Six of Crows and it just makes the whole crows’ storylines from S&B season 2 so much worse. Kaz’ motivation for taking the heist is to use his share of the money to become powerful enough to destroy Pekka…but he already did that. (Not to mention his seeming goodwill and patriotism in the Ice Heist introduction at the end that completely goes against his entire character.) Inej’s motivation (maybe not at first but later) is to use her money for a crew to hunt slavers…but she already did that. A big part of Jesper’s growth throughout the duology is accepting that he is Grisha…but he already did that. A big part of Wylan’s storyline is proving himself to Jesper and the crows…but he already did that. Nina has a whole thing about not being properly trained, but in the show she is. Even Matthias already “fought” the wolves…except he didn’t. I feel like everything they did with the crows this season undermines so much of their actual storyline and I want to have hope in this spinoff (if we ever get it), but I have no idea how they’re going to do it when they already used so much for the show

#six of crows #shadow and bone #shadow and bone spoilers #what i loved so much about their storyline in season 1 is none of it contradicted their book storylines #and they just threw all of that away in season 2 #i want this spinoff so much #but as Im reading the book I’m realizing how much they would have to change #i did enjoy the show (minus the Pekka storyline) #and i loved what they did with wesper tbh #which I think they can work with later #and they can work around the damage they did to the other ships #but so much of their growth happened too soon #kaz getting his revenge was supposed to be the start of his ability to heal #but he already got that and still isn’t so what else does he need to do??? #and what are their plans with Pekka being in prison? #i Didn’t read S&B so I can’t speak to the damage did there (though I am sympathetic) #but i just don’t know what to exepect from this spinoff anymore
