We finally made it, the last two episode of Shadow and Bone Season Two! Now that we've finished the season, it's safe to say we have a Love/Hate relationship with how the story was told. There were so many incredible moments like THE best kanej line making it to screen, a quick Ben Barnes thirst trap, new character story expansions, incredible fight scenes, and goth Zooey Deschanel. But there were also plenty of moments that we weren't the biggest fans of. Like the terrible lighting, the death of THAT character, weird scene directions, huge plot changes from the book, and goth Zooey Deschanel. Join us as we conclude our thoughts on this whirlwind of a season and await the news of a Six of Crows spinoff actually happening!

We've entered the second half of the season and we just have to ask: what's all this then?! Actually, we have more questions like: where did THAT iconic line go? what's going in with the Darkling? why did they change the twist? Is this straight out of fanfic? and finally, is Wesper carrying this show? We're just a little lost! Join us for our review of Netflix's Shadow and Bone Season 2, Episodes 5 & 6!
