Samantha, YouTube creator from the channel Thoughts on Tomes, is here with us today to talk about episodes 7 and 8 of Shadow and Bones Netflix!

• We talk about how Samantha and Jane didn't like the Darkling (General Kirig) flashback love interest
• That Mal and Alina have a lot more agency in the series
• Samantha breaks down which team she is on between Mal and the Darkling
• Samantha agrees that Mal isn't a fuckboy like he is in the books anymore
• Our feelings on the look of the amplifier on Alina's collarbone and how it is different than the books
• Genya and David's betrayal of Alina and how it came across on screen
• Kaz, Inej, and Jesper's scenes continue to be standouts in the series. 
• Jesper and Inej's friendship arc
• Darkling and Mal's faceoffs in the series - the fight and the Darkling saying he'll just wait for Mal to die
• Alina and the Darkling scene where Alina said, "You could have had all this with me"
• Alina embracing her badass self in series 1 instead of book 3. And that Mal doesn't feel jealous or upset that she is a badass
• We go through how great is was having all the characters on the boat together and getting interactions that we never knew we needed
• Kaz smoke bombing the darkling
• The whole gang fighting the volcra & the darkling
• The change in the ending of Alina not escaping the boat to save Mal and leaves everyone to die. Liked that she saves everyone and that everyone has a fun pow wow after
• Alina giving Kaz the necklace.
• Our hopes for season 2!
• Dipped quickly into Witcher, Henry Cavill, and Viggo Mortenson 
• Our feelings of weekly rollouts vs full season drops
• The other fantasy series we love that are coming up: The Wheel of Time and Kushiel's Dart series (two of Bridget's favorites of all time)
