rip shadow and bone. we would have loved to see dark alina. we would have loved to see matthias finally get out of jail. we would have loved to see kaz learn to love. we would have loved to see zoyalai on screen. we would have loved to see wylan's story. we would have loved to see the ice court heist. we would have loved to see colm fahey. we would have loved to meet kuweii. we would have loved to see jesper get over his gambling addiction. we would have loved to see matthias relearn all he knew for nina. we would have loved to see inej find her family again. we would have loved to see mal find out what life is like without alina. we would have loved to see nina learn to live for herself, instead of her country.
we would have loved to see more of the characters we all know and love.

"Siege and Storm is boring, nothing happened there.", "I only remember Nikolai showing up". LIES. That's propaganda, actually. That's Grishaverse fans not wanting to reread the trilogy and especially that book because they've crafted a fanfic in their heads they're trying to pass as canon with encouragement from the author, actually.
Because rereading Siege and Storm would raise quite a few unsavory questions. For example:
Why is Mal drinking, gambling and fighting Grisha 24/7 instead of performing his duty as Alina's captain of the guard? (And don't give me "he was a stressed boy" bullshit, it was war, everyone was stressed. And everyone was coddling Mal. He was going hunting with nobles, living in luxury and insulting the prince).
Why did Mal fail his duty as Alina's protector and fell asleep on his watch, drunk, and didn't notice someone going in and out Alina's chamber?
Why did Alina run away in her pajamas aimlessly in the city, and when the crowd of worshippers started tearing her apart alive, she let them. Why did she attempt suicide? (Hint: she and Mal had a big fight earlier because Mal was being a drunk shithead. Alina still blamed herself).
Why did Mal slut-shame Alina one second and virgin-shame her the next? All while bragging about being with many women and kissing Zoya.
Why did the Darkling not manipulate Alina even though he visited her a lot through the tether? Why did he settle for petty little smirks and winks and silently kept her company through the long nights? Why did he admit he was lonely and stayed with her because she was lonely too? Where was loverboy Mal?
Why were the Bataar twins (especially Tolya) acting so weird towards Alina? Why were they brainwashed worshipers and viewed her only as a saint? Why is Tolya on his knees, shivering when Alina just pats his shoulder?
Oh, Nikolai is just an ambitious, conniving cunt who wants the throne, not a selfless fairytale prince? And he's only an improvement from his father and brother because the bar is so low it's in the seventh circle of hell? (Still the best character in that book).
Why is everyone so okay with murdering the Darkling's Grisha as if they aren't the same Grisha who they lived and fought alongside for years? Why is no one protesting that while the Lantsov prince is eager to engage in a civil war because he has big guns from his pirate privateer adventures , it's the oppressed minority (Grisha) who are dying the most?
Why isn't Alina more concerned that everyone turned on Grisha the second the times of trouble started, as if everyone was merely expecting an excuse? An absence of strong leader, so they could start sham trials and execute Grisha left and right.

Alina’s reluctance to power didn’t make her humble or virtuous, it just made her cowardly. For Alina, rejecting power doesn’t mean rejecting corruption, it means rejecting a fundamental part of herself. It would have been good for Alina to accept responsibility and rise to the occasion as a hero and leader instead of remaining passive. Trying to generalize all forms of power as inherently corrupting ignores the context of Alina’s reluctance and frames her meekness and passivity as a good thing.
#Just because the text frames her self-centered nature as good doesn’t mean that it’s good.#I’m so bored of readers who try to ameliorate the ending by appealing to the virtue of humility when that same quality was the thing that#was harming Alina in the first place. It wasn’t a good thing that Alina *never wanted power* TOO BAD! That came from Alina’s fear and#insecurity! It was something she should’ve had to overcome instead of yielding to it in the end.#It’s Bardugo’s fault that she linked Alina’s growing sense of self (in the form of her powers) with her relationship with Aleksander.#Demonizing him (and darklina) ultimately demonizes Alina’s personal growth and empowerment#the darkling#shadow and bone#alina starkov#lb critical#grishaverse#s&b critical#anti leigh bardugo#aleksander morovoza#darklina#siege and storm#ruin and rising

That Darklina moment when Alina created their children with merzost then used them to kill him and brought a building on his face only for Aleksander to ask her to become his Queen the next time they meet will never NOT be ICONIC 🛐

Something something the volumes it speaks that the Darkling felt the need to put Zoya and Alina in competition with each other and put them against each other from the moment they met so that they wouldn’t be able to immediately acknowledge what was being done to them and unite against him something something
#the pitting of women against each other not only for a misogynist’s gain but also because the misogynist fears those women#and what they would be able to do together#says so freaking much#and the force we could have seen between the pair of them from the very beginning#if their dislike of each other hadn’t been effectively manufactured#ugh#like I just#keeps me up at night#you know?#grishaverse#shadow and bone#save shadow and bone#save the grishaverse#sab netflix#shadow and bone netflix#alina starkov#zoya nazyalensky#anti darkling#anti darklina#malina#Zoya and Alina#queens#leigh bardugo#grisha trilogy#siege and storm#ruin and rising#I hate the Darkling#i hate him i hate him i hate him#shadow and bone analysis#assorted analysis - grishaverse

so I've been reading shadow and bone
#just finished siege and storm and I understand my friend's nikolai adoration now#idk why but some people are surprised to know this is my first time ever reading it#most likely part 1 of character doodles (I must draw david)#don't ask me why I drew vasily second of all characters#can't stop imagining show malina while I read so their designs are sorta inspired by the actors but more book age accurate#shadow and bone#siege and storm#shadow and bone trilogy#shadow and bone fanart#sketches#nikolai lantsov#vasily lantsov#sturmhond#alina starkov#mal oretsev#the darkling#grishaverse
