Here is how Shadow and Bone made Grisha society even better than in the books. Among these changes are the decision to make protagonist Alina half-Shu, removing the toxic masculinity displayed in the books by Alina’s love interest Mal, and a providing more complex background for the series' villain, the Darkling. Netflix’s Shadow and Bone has made several major changes from the books, most (if not all) of which have been received very positively by fans. Shadow and Bone has secured a place in Netflix’s Top Ten list for several weeks since its April release and is proving to be popular with new fans and fans of the original book series.

While Six of Crows takes place two years after the timeline established in the Shadow and Bone trilogy, the characters are introduced in the first season of the Shadow and Bone series alongside the central characters of the Grisha trilogy. Six of Crows follows a criminal gang from Ketterdam as they attempt a heist in the dangerous Ice Court of Fjerda. Shadow and Bone also introduces characters from Bardugo’s Six of Crows, which takes place two years after the novel trilogy.

Geralt in this book is vivid and brave, and I was happy to follow him on the various adventures he went on. Even though, I have to admit that the video games and the TV Show are also extraordinary, when it comes to their characters. Usually I am more attracted to the book characters rather than a movies/TV Show character, and this was no different. I have known Geralt from the video games, and then I watched the TV Show. I loved the introduction of Geralt in this book. In every fairy tale, there is a pinch of truth. He hunts the monsters that bring fear to people and creatures that attack the innocent.īut not everything is as seems, as some monsters are not evil, and not everything fair is good. However, Geralt is not an ordinary killer. In this book we are introduced to Geralt of Rivia, a Witcher – a man whose magic powers and strength training made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. The Last Wish is the prequel to the Witcher series. For me, The Last Wish is the perfect introduction to start the Witcher series and meet Geralt of Rivia.
