The camera work also shifts: with the “Shadow and Bone” story, it uses longer shots with little movement (unless of course it’s a fight scene). When the scenes contained the “Shadow and Bone” characters, they were more light and regal, reflecting the essence of Ravaka (the mythical country where “Shadow and Bone” primarily takes place), whereas with the “Six of Crows” characters, it’s dark and moody, capturing the gritty nature of the gang. The subtle details the show had, like how the camera-work and coloring changed when switching between the “Shadow and Bone” characters and the “Six of Crows” ones perfectly replicated the mood of the books. It felt so much richer and exactly how I imagined it when reading the books. The costume design, special effects and sets were far superior this season. With this season, however, every episode had an intriguing and compelling storyline. One of my critiques of the first season was that it felt slightly slow and everything happened in the last two episodes.
The first episode was the best hour of my life, and the rest of the season didn’t disappoint either. The second season continues this storyline and introduces more characters from the books, such as Lewis Tan playing Tolya Yul-Bataar, Anna Leong-Brophy as Tamar Kir-Bataar, Patrick Gibson as Nikolai Lantsov and Jack Wolfe as Wylan Hendricks. Two other “Crow” characters, Nina Zenik (Danielle Galligan) and Matthias Helvar (Calahan Skogman) have their own forbidden romance story separate from all the others. Within this storyline, the showmakers mixed in the “Crows” characters, Kaz Brekker (Freddy Carter), Inej Ghafa (Amita Suman) and Jesper Fahey (Kit Young), a group of thieves who completed multiple heists in the first season. These characters come from the “Shadow and Bone” trilogy, which takes place before the “Six of Crows” duology. It follows the story of Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li) who discovers that she is the fabled “Sun Summoner.” She has the ability to tear down the “Fold,” a wall of darkness filled with monsters that were created by the Darkling (Ben Barnes), and her childhood best friend Malyen Orestev (Archie Renaux) helps her on the journey.
