I’m going to need this now, please and thank you.
So, you can imagine my excitement about the long-awaited book adaptation for Netflix TV Shadow and Bone, which is based on Leigh Bardugo’s bestselling novels, Grishaverse.
Well, today, Netflix announced that episode eight Shadow and Bone the series will officially begin broadcasting on April 23, and I am very excited.
As I mentioned above, Shadow and Bone it is based on the novels of Leigh Bardugo and follows Alina Starkov, a soldier and orphan who is just trying to survive in a “war-torn world”.
Soon, Alina unleashes “an extraordinary power” that may be exactly what will free her country. With the Shadowfold threat approaching, Alina is now put into training as part of an elite army of magical soldiers known as “Grisha”.

Alina “will strive to improve her power”, as she will soon discover that “allies and enemies can be the same and that nothing in this luxurious world is what it seems.”
Guys, I’m literally jumping with excitement to see these characters finally come to life on the screen.
