#i have. no idea what that fucking B plot was tho between the grisha and the grisha hunter

[everfolk]

just finished shadow and bone! i liked it but i especially liked the last couple episodes. i also have some thoughts so i'm just gonna put those in the tags

#the actor they cast for the darkling was GREAT cuz he was attractive on the surface but the way he acted sometimes made him look so creepy #very good decisions were made #i wish the palace they used didn't look like a typical palace? if u know what i mean? #in the book i pictured it to be more expansive and open.. with lots of stone and marble #same with the training areas and hut #i wish it was more focused on the landscape of it all instead of confined to sets #i have. no idea what that fucking B plot was tho between the grisha and the grisha hunter????? #why did they give so much screen time to that???? instead of developing the other characters further (esp alina's friends at the palace)??? #literally just skipped their scenes at a certain point cuz like why were they even there #but i absolutely LOVED the gang #are they called the crows? #omg jasper was my favorite character. i think i might read the other series focused on them cause i loved the character so much #i thought some of the styling was definitely off at times #like alina was supposed to look super weak and tired and bad before she came to the palace right #but.. she looked fine and normal #which made her palace glow up seem weird. like they just put some pink lipstick on her #also the romance aspect w the darkling would've been more believable had we not have seen all those mal scenes interspersed #i feel like they could've shifted some things around with that to make it seem more real #also... why did they change it to have alina initiate all those romantic scenes? i feel like that was a weird choice #could've def just had the darkling do it and then chalk it up to his weird power dynamic thing. make him seem more evil #but yeah i liked it well enough! the acting was good so was the production #clara talks #shadow and bone spoilers
