After years of rising expectations, preparation, and recruiting of an amazing cast, Netflix has finally released their much-vaunted adaptation of Leigh Bardugo’s wildly popular young adult series Shadow and Bone. While there’s plenty for fans to gush over (looking at you, Ben Barnes,) and lots more for newcomers to the series to enjoy, one of the most common questions that comes with any book-to-screen adaptation is “what got changed?” and Shadow and Bone is no exception. It’s no exaggeration to say that a ton of liberties have been taken with the original Grishaverse content, up to and including adding in the main characters from Bardugo’s other--even more popular-- series Six of Crows, set in the same world. But there’s more than just new characters and glitzy costumes: Alina has a new heritage, while major villain General Kirigan (known in the book primarily as “the Darkling”) has been given a much more sympathetic backstory. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg-- with a universe as complex, clever, and expansive as Bardugo’s Grishaverse, it’s well worth taking an in-depth look at every difference between the book and the show.
Whether you’re new to Ravka or a seasoned citizen who knows to avoid the Fold, the Netflix series is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a beautifully-realized and well-acted contemporary update that continues to delve into the ethical conundrums and vivid personal struggles of the heroes, heroines, rogues, and villains of Ravka and beyond.
