So happy to have our special guest Christine from Poland Bananas Books on YouTube! Christine has been in the book review game for a decade and is a titan of BookTube and we were so thrilled she said yes! 

IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS WAIT TO LISTEN TILL YOU WATCH!!!

 We talked through:

• Mal's character compared to the books being an improvement
• The costumes, especially the Kefta's and Inej's outfits
• How quickly Mal and Alina get past their miscommunication
• The difference between the filming of the Shadow and Bone scenes and the Crows scenes
• General Kirigin (The Darkling) and Alina's character getting some delightful smoochies in  - we all have different feelings about it. 
• Jane asked what we thought about him telling Alina to call her Alexander
• Christine says "Ben Barnes" the way we all feel about him. 
• Christine shares what she thinks about the Crows being in the show
• Inej's first kill and how quickly she kills her second!
• The Crows fighting the Grisha
• Inej seeing Alina  bring the light for the first time with her eyes filled with tears. 
• Jesper and the stable boy giving the flirt game 
• Nina and Mattias' great looks, and jabs, and chemistry
• We asked Christine about what she thinks about Baghra
• How Zoya and the General were fucking! We debate if they had a relationship in the books and how he turns her down.
• Alina not being so isolated in the Little Palace and how Alina has more agency
• Christine laments David's upcoming role in Ep 7 and talks about how much she likes Genya and David's awkward looks and courtship
• Christine cried when Alina called the light at the Fete and we talk about the evolution of what her powers visually look like.
• Christine is hoping that Alina is going to go with the Crows back to Ketterdam
• Bridget talks about how the showrunner Eric Heisserer wouldn't make the show without the Crows being woven in
• Our hopes and theories about what is going to happen in the final two episodes and future seasons if they happen!
