Okay, I love Freddy Carter as Kaz Brekker BUT you're trying to tell me THIS man is a teenager?

I’m sorry, but he looks like a sleep-deprived 30-year-old who is in desperate need of a spa day

(I still love him though)

Major Spoilers for those who haven't read the shadow and bone book series!

Okay, so in the show the lore seems to have been altered so that the amplifiers have to be melded into the grisha’s body, rather than just, like jewelry you can't remove.

Now, there are two more amplifiers, assuming they follow the books. The serpent makes sense for how they'll connect it to Alina’s body. But the third amplifier??? How are they- cuz- Mal??? Idk how they make it work without it being completely revolting. And then if he comes back to life??? Idk man but I can't stop thinking about it.

Like, they could amputate a finger? But then Alina would have one of Mal’s fingers permanently welded into her and Mal would be down a digit.

I'm sorry, if I have to be tortured by this than so do you.

Okay, I loved Shadow and Bone but I have one issue that I really need to get out of my system. It felt like too much plot for 8 episodes. There basically 3 storylines that eventually converged but it was a lot for 8 episodes and I feel like it messed up the pacing a bit.

If they had stretched the season out by even 2 more episodes I feel like it would have given the more time to develop the characters and their relationships and stuff.

Like I wanted more of Alina training to hone her power and more scenes of malina tracking the stag( and a malina kiss!!)

Also, slightly off topic but, I kind of wish they saved the Helnik storyline for flashbacks like in the Six of Crows book, I feel like in future seasons we’ll lose the suspense of why Matthias hates Nina so much and stuff. This would have also given the other plots more room to breathe, if that makes sense.

Overall, while I don't think this season was perfect, it was enjoyable and set up future seasons well.

I can't be the only one who was upset that Mal and Alina didn't kiss before finding the stag, right??? I loved that scene in the book 😢

Ok but Matthias is the Loki of the grishaverse in that the fandom has just sort of collectively decided they’re not dead

Did you know that ”mitochondria” is plural and the singular version is mitochondrion?
