Six of Crows and King of Scars and The Language of Thorns. All the books take place within the same world, just in different locations and separate timelines. One of the more fascinating decisions made for the Netflix adaptation is the plan to combine the disparate narratives of Shadow and Bone with Six of Crows. As much as I enjoyed the main trilogy, the Six of Crows books are my favorites, so the idea of remixing the material is particularly intriguing.

Martin’s uncompromising epic, but the impact of Westeros is keenly felt all over Netflix’s lavish series. For one, it dispenses fantasy jargon without deigning to explain what any of it means, and its sprawling, complex world feels similarly lived-in and well-formed. And though it doesn’t have a Stark, it does have a Starkov — our hero Alina S...

3.0 out of 5 star rating It is a truth universally acknowledged that a fairly high-budget genre show in possession of any fantasy elements must be referred to at least once as the “next Game of Thrones” – and so it’s been for Netflix’s long-awaited adaptation of Shadow and Bone, the first in a series of “Grishaverse” novels by American author Leigh Bardugo.
