If you haven’t seen “Shadow And Bone” on Netflix, do yourself a favor and add it to the top of your binge list. I was so entranced I had to check out the books, which, of course, are different from the series. There was a fair amount of re-writing for the script, but the big change is that they’ve taken multiple series within the universe and smashed them into one. I’m learning a lot from both. The world-building is incredible.

The books are YA, so normally I’d be tearing through them at a pretty quick pace, but I’m not. I’m trying to take time to notice the subtlety and detail.

It’s best to read the books in order, and as further proof of Leigh Bardugo’s genius, there is a guide on her website.
