Shadow & Bones TV Series

 Hey my lovely Chameleons. In today's blog I want to talk about this new show on Netflix that I wanted to do a review on, but also kept putting it off at the same time.I decided to leave this month with a TV Series Review on Shadow & Bones.This show is also based on a book, under the same name and Six Of Crows both by Leigh Bardugo. I have not read any of the books, but let's go on with this review.

On April 23, 2021 Netflix came out with a new show called, Shadow & Bones. This show is based on 2 books, Shadow & Bone, and Six Of Crows both by Leigh Bardugo. But for any Chameleons who have not read the books, like myself, here is what the show is about; Dark forces conspire against orphan mapmaker, Alina Starkov, when she unleashes an extraordinary power that could change the fate of her war-torn world.

On April 17, 2021 my phone gave me a notification from Netflix to let me know that Shadow & Bones was coming Friday. I wanted to check the show out. On April 26 I saw that Peyton Reads (BookTuber) posted up a video about Shadow & Bones about her review on the show. Realized that I wanted to check out the show. She slap told us that Shadow & Bone book is for the plot and Six Of Crows is to know more about the characters. I haven't read the books. On April 27 after watching NeverEnding Story 1 & 2 and almost fell asleep to both of them, I decided to watch the show. Bad idea, cause 15 minutes later it was dinner, then I watched Gracie & Frankie. During watching Frankie & Gracie I was messaging with Shaina Fillmore asking if she heard of the new show. She sent me picture of her watching the show. I asked her if I should read the book first. She told me that she always reads the book first. I didn't know what to do. On April 29, I decided to turn the show on again, and I made it to the third episode. But during episode 2 I decided to clean when the show was on, cause I didn't do much cleaning yesterday. I zoned in and out of the show, with still trying to pay attention on the story. With what I have seen and paid attention to I liked what I saw, but I think since I have not read the book I don't know what's really going on much. I even need to replay episode 2 and episode 3 again. I think if I keep watching the series I will understand better what this show is about. I have seen BookTube people read Show & Bones and Six Of Crows and say what the book is about. I thought that was good enough, also cause I don't really read fantasy. But what I said, what I have seen I did like, and I tried my best to understand the characters and storyline.
