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

How it begin
°°°°°°
The night sky was enough to make her feel so lonely and dark. She wanted nothing but peace and it was all being provided to her.
Suddenly she felt hands of someone's hand around her waist making her gasp. She was scared for a second but after realizing who it was she could only sigh.
"Prince Jungkook." The said man smiled before he leaned in closer and kissed her neck slightly. She flinched a little but still tried to stay put.
"So how's my baby doing?" He asked her while his hand rubbed her small baby bump.
"It's doing just fine." Her short answers were killing him but he didn't care since this is what he has been getting ever since he made her his.
This made her remember the time of how they were brought together.
Few months ago.
King Jeon and Queen were all ready for the grand birthday ceremony which was thrown to congrats their youngest son who just turned 20. 
The big hall was getting filled with all the royal guests while the person who this ceremony was organized for was missing.
"Where is he?" King Jeon sejin spoke to his wife lowly before smiling at the guests. The beautiful lady dressed up in a pretty pink gown chuckled nervously.
"He just came from the company. He must be changing."
"Really? But his elder brother is here already and he was with him." This made the king even more angry thinking how irresponsible his youngest son is.
"Ahhh.. I will just go and see."
°°°
"Jeon Jungkook. You are twenty now. At least behave like your age if you don't want to act like a Prince." The queen spoke just when she entered the room of the youngest Prince.
"Seriously eomma. Knock before entering." The queen only shook her head-
"What are you doing here?" Jungkook questioned cutting her mother's chance to speak. His hands trying to pick something for tonight.
The clothes were scattered all over the floor. It looked as if there was a third world war that took place.
"It's embarrassing. Learn something from your brother." Ignoring the queen Jungkook rolled his eyes.
The queen could only tsk in return before she signed the maids to clean the room.
Jungkook was now finally wearing his white shirt to cover his smooth chest.
The maids had a little blush on their face when they saw the youngest Prince shirtless. But maintaining themselves they all continued there work.
"Well I am still learning and hyung is elder so obviously he knows better." Jungkook tried speaking before he went towards the big mirror placed inside the room.
The queen didn't know what else to say since she knew her son will never listen.
"I just hope you like one of the princess tonight. I have invited basically everyone. So you better take a look at all of them." Jungkook sighed, thinking her mother is going to go off about this whole marriage topic again. 
His hand moved his dark brown hair away from his face before he licked his dry lips.
"I'm not choosing just any girl since its my life. I am not going to be like hyung." The mother shook her head. This conversation was going just like how it does every time. 
"Fine. But please just choose one or else your father will."
°°°°°°
"I am not going and I have said that about hundredth time now." You spoke before you turned around and picked your novel to finish the second chapter.
"Oh really. Is this what you will give me back for saving your ass from that guy."
Your friend spat before she tried the lipstick on her lips. You pushed your glasses a bit up.
Your mind going back to the guy you met yesterday night accidentally when you were going home.
He was some weird drunk guy and thanks to seohyun. If she didn't make it on time or saw you than you would have been dead.
"What!? Are you going to take that long to answer me?" She stomped her feet before she placed her hands on her waist.
Waiting for your response. "Ummm.." You gulped before starting.
"It's a party for Royals and I am not. I am just a girl your parents found on the road. It would be weird if I go there." You tried explaining but she wasn't going to buy any of it since you could already see her choosing your outfit.
"I am not going alone and you are coming with me!" Her hands roamed inside the closet before she finally agreed on one dark red shoulder less gown.
"And as for my parents. Don't worry, they love you too so there won't be any problems." You could only let out a deep sigh.
Getting up from her king size bed with your novel you nodded.
There isn't anything you could do. You are alive because of her and her parents. Otherwise you would have been on the streets begging.
"I will go. Only because you said so." Seohyun jumps with excitement before she hugs the life out of you.
"Thanks a lot. I would have been bored and you know I only have you babe." You faked a cry before shaking your head.
"Drama queen" you whispered as you walked towards the changing room with the dress.
"I heard that!"
°°°°°
The soft jazz music played in the background as the youngest prince walked down the grand stairs in the mansion. He had all the attention, mainly from all the young princess and also the queens.
"Please welcome Prince Jeon Jungkook. The second child of the Jeon Kingdom." The speaker announced through his speaker. All the girls squeaked at the sight of this handsomely good looking prince.
"Wah! He looks so manly."
"His eyes are so crystal clear."
"His biceps.... wait his thighs."
The princess whispered into her friends ear as Jungkook passed them. He mentally rolled his eyes before he reached his parents.
"That was a quick entry from you prince Jungkook" King Sijin whispered lowly not for other people to hear. Jungkook just smiles to the audience, ignoring the man by his side completely.
Meanwhile here she was. Slowly entering the mansion with her beautiful gown. She turned back to see her friend but found no one. It almost gave her a heat attack but when she got a glance of the girl in pink she sighed.
Her hand went on her chest to calm her beating heart. She shook her head at her friends behaviour.
"Y/n.. Let's go." Seohyun spoke before she locked her arms with Y/n and walked inside the mansion. The lights were dim inside the palace, as both of them walked into the crowd. Everywhere she looked she could see all those charismatic faces of Kings and queens.
All of them had different scale than her and she could see it. Their Aura, was making her feel distinct.
"Hey, you okay?" Her friend nudged her side getting Y/n's attention.
"Yea. Just awestruck." Letting out a small giggle they both continued their way to god knows where. But before they could go anymore further, Y/n felt her friend stopping. Craning her head to the side she saw Seohyun being held back by her mother.
The queen faked a smile at you before facing her daughter. Your face dropped when you understood what she meant with that unsaid pause.
Bowing politely you moved away from them. Giving them privacy.
"I told her to let me be at home." You whispered slowly as you moved where less expensive looking faces were standing.
It seemed like you belonged there.
°°°°°°
"Jeon Jungkook. I want you to meet King Lee." Jungkook rolled his eyes as he listened to his fathers words. In his mind all he could think was to how get away from here.
The young boy bowed politely before he gave them his smile which a prince should have all the time.
"Nice to meet you, your highness." The old man nodded before saying his own greetings. "Your son is handsome Sijin." King Lee declared as he faced his friend.
"Where is Queen Lee and your daughter." The old man looked around to find his daughter who wasn't there. "Oh they will be here soon."
The started talking about their stuff and Jungkook excused himself to get some fresh air.
Walking out of the palace. He was now moving towards the balcony where he could hide himself from this cruel world. But when he reached there. He saw someone was already standing there.
His eyes scanned her outwear before he walked towards her.
Jungkook was not a playboy type person and he never had any interest in girls but right at this moment something was weird. It wasn't him walking close to the girl but his heart. His heart was telling him to be near her and he hasn't even seen her face yet.
What was this feeling?
Just than as if the person heard someone coming. She turned around only to get bumped into his hard chest. Her hand instantly went to his chest as his were on her small waist. The close proximity was making the environment all hot.
Jungkook took in all of her features as the moonlight made her face glow more. She blinked as she tried to free herself from this stranger.
"Umm." Y/n mumbled before pulling herself away from the prince. Jungkook was left with a mouth wide open. He didn't know why or how. But his heart and mind were paused. The only thing he could focus on was her face, her beauty, her lips.
The girl shook her head at his behavior before she tried to move past him. Her shoulder brushed against his but before she could go any further. His fingers were already holding her wrist tightly.
"Who are you?"
