Reviving this thread as a total latecomer to the Shadow and Bone party!
- Iāve never really paid much attention to Ben Barnes but oh my, Iāve now developed a full on crush. Just gorgeous (personality wise too).
- I loved the Crows! Have started with those books before the Shadow and Bone ones, and am really enjoying them.
- In the first episode, I found the acting a bit cheesy but I think everyone improved with each episode. The actor who plays Alina seems smart and lovely IRL, and I donāt think she came through the traditional acting route, so Iām here for that.
- Thereās a great podcast called āBehind The Scenesā which deep dives into the series (soundbites from the actors, the author, and various production insights. I also loved learning how Eric Heisserer came on board and the fan casting of Ben Barnes as the Darkling/Aleksander/General Kirrigan!)
So yes, Iām fully obsessed and excited about S2. In the meantime, Iāll be reading the books and sighing at Ben Barnesā gorgeous face!
