This or That w/Calahan & Danielle | SHADOW AND BONE, SEASON 2

[ghafae]

now on one hand. six of crows should’ve been one whole season and crooked kingdom an entirely different one. i’m talking like 40 min episodes, 12 episodes per season. weekly releases where the fandom goes feral each week because oh my god. are they finally going to let kaz and inej TRULY LOOK at each other? FLESHED OUT character arcs and slow burns that… actually slow burn and make you want to cry and scream and tear your heart out.

on the other hand shadow and bone season 1 and 2 = instant gratification makes brain go weeee

shadow and bone is like. it's the worst show i've ever seen it's the best show i've even seen it's a bad adaptation it's fanfiction with a netflix budget it's better than i expected it's worse than i wanted it's pure fan service the acting is phenomenal the writing is terrible and the thing is it's all of these things. but also it's none of these things because most importantly shadow and bone is a vessel for freddy carter to give the performance of a lifetime

oh! hi, same anon as the one who recc'd gilded wolves and the other books here. on gilded wolves, it's definitely not a six of crows ripoff. it's set in the la belle epoque, in an alternate history, and it's more about treasure hunting (and becoming a god? vaguely?) than it is about heists. i think the only heist in it was at the start. i do have my own issues with it, like. i'm filipino and while the filipino character, enrique, was okay as a whole, there was something about him that bothered me? a lot of filipino words were spelled wrong and some things just didn't fit right, i guess. and i've seen enough south asians decrying laila, the indian character (who is definitely written worse than enrique tbh), which. is sad because the author is indian-filipino herself. but i still don't really understand why people call it a soc ripoff because... it isn't lol. there are so many differences between the two and their worldbuilding, which is actually pretty interesting? also i do know that there are south asians who do like laila, and a lot of people who do like the books better than six of crows. overall it's up to you to decide whether you want to read it or not. (also! bc i wanna clarify, tho you probably know already, gilded wolves is young adult, and so is iron widow. time war is adult, though! also also sorry for the long ask haha)

omg thank you! i did see by reading around that there was a Filipino character but had no idea abt the actual quality of the representation and being Filipino as well (which btw hi!!!) that’s a little disappointing to hear 😫

i’ve been on an adult fiction kick lately so I’m inclined to pick up time war and seeing how that goes! (also cause I’ve heard it’s relatively short and idk I haven’t had the best luck with books in a series lately :p)

ive been wanting to draw them ever since the new cast members were announced

New Sketch-a-Wish voted on my wonderful Patreons for January! Featuring Kaz and Inej from Six of Crows!

Who’s ready to see scene this in live action? 😩✨🧡👀

[ghafae]

friends I am in need of fantasy/historical (basically just not contemporary :p) books with really good romance plot/subplot. I simply have not felt emotion since reading soc and kanej (it has been 3 years…) they have set the bar too high and now I crave something like it PLEASE HELP AND DROP RECS🙏

[ghafae]

ok for those who have read gilded wolves. was it good or will it read like a six of crows ripoff be honest

[merrigel]

AH HEY y’all remember that Six of Crows zine I got into?? Here’s my piece for it!! I’m still really, really pleased with how it came out- I love all these kids so much!!
