    Season Two Grab Bag(hra*) and Listener Questions

    We are back! With more thoughts on season two and some great listener theories and prompts. We answer such questions as: How do we feel about the show being cancelled, and what do we hope to see next for the Grishaverse? What is up with the tether in season two? And, of course: how much rampant speculation about Grisha powers can possibly fit in one episode?? Spoilers for the Shadow and Bone trilogy, both seasons of Netflix’s Shadow and Bone show, the King of Scars duology, and the Tailor. * still not sorry

    Amplifiers, Part Two: Make It Make Sense

    We discuss amplifiers in Season Two of the Netflix Shadow and Bone show, and come up with theories that we found surprisingly satisfying! We answer such questions as: How did that whole thing with Mal work, and do we even know if it stuck? What are some creative ways we can dispose of the Apparat? And of course: How clever was Baghra, really? (And, oops, JJ totally forgot that Yuri also means ‘farmer’ in Russian. Yuri, a true everyman.) Spoilers for the Shadow and Bone trilogy, both seasons of Netflix’s Shadow and Bone show, and the King of Scars duology.

    Wylan and Jesper, Or: Wesper, Or: the Chillest Couple in Season Two

    We discuss Wesper, the relationship between Wylan and Jesper. We answer such questions as: How does their pre-season two history change the dynamic of the relationship between them? Was the Six of Crows duology actually meant to be read ship by ship? And of course: Who would be the best third corner of a Wesper love triangle – Kuwei, Tolya, or JJ? Our next episode will probably cover assorted topics from season two (including amplifiers, for sure, we will get to amplifiers, we really need to talk about amplifiers in season two). If there’s anything you want to hear us cover (other than amplifiers, which, again, we will be discussing) shoot us an email at crowclubpod@gmail.com! (And actually, feel free to email if you want to hear about amplifiers. We really need to talk about amplifiers.) Spoilers for the Shadow and Bone trilogy, both seasons of Netflix’s Shadow and Bone show, and the Six of Crows duology.

    Shadow and Bone Season Two, Part Two: THAT ENDING

    We discuss that ending of Season Two of the Netflix Shadow and Bone show! We answer such questions as: What does Alina keeping her powers mean? Does the ending of this season break even the notoriously ambiguous rules governing merzost? What is the correct murder weapon to bring down an overpowered villain? And, of course: Did we actually just hear JJ walking back some of her Mal hate?? Spoilers for the Shadow and Bone trilogy, both seasons of Netflix Shadow and Bone show, the Six of Crows duology, the King of Scars duology, and — weirdly — Grey’s Anatomy.

    Shadow and Bone Season Two, Part One: *screams in Ravkan*

    We discuss Season Two of the Netflix Shadow and Bone show!!! We answer such questions as: How fared our hopes, predictions, and fears for this season? Who was more likely to faint – the Darkling on merzost or Anjali when she saw the Lantsov emerald? And, of course: How relieved are we that we never have to worry about pronunciation again?? Spoilers for the Shadow and Bone trilogy, Netflix Shadow and Bone Season 1 AND 2!!, Six of Crows duology, and the King of Scars duology.

    The (Small) Science of Tailoring: How Does It All Work?

    We discuss the ever-developing science of Tailoring. We answer such questions as: How many Tailors are there? Can we come up with something that explains the seeming disparities between Tailoring in each of the book series and the show? And, of course: Why is parem-Nina so uncreative?? (We are sorry we didn’t talk about tailoring Ruby and the Darkling in this episode. They didn’t make it into the podcast, but they remain in our hearts.) Also! This is our last episode before Shadow and Bone Season 2 comes out. We know we talk about the books a lot more than the show, but we will definitely be watching the new season. If there’s anything you’d like to hear us discuss, shoot us an email at crowclubpod@gmail.com. We’d love to hear from you. Spoilers for the Shadow and Bone trilogy, Netflix Shadow and Bone Season 1, Six of Crows duology, the King of Scars duology, and the short story The Tailor.

    Genya Safin: Tailor, Soldier, Spy

    We discuss the red-haired, amber-eyed Tailor, Genya Safin. We answer such questions as: What did Genya see in David? Why did she incapacitate the Tsar that way? Whose BFF is she really? And of course: What does one have to do to get Darkling-coming-out-of-the-banya privileges around here?? If you haven’t read The Tailor yet, you can read it for free on the internet! (Read it! It’s so good.) We do not actually discuss Tailoring because we went on about Genya for too long. We’ll get to it in the next episode, we sort-of-promise. Spoilers for the Shadow and Bone trilogy, Netflix Shadow and Bone season 1, Six of Crows duology, King of Scars duology, and the short story The Tailor.

    Demon in the Wood Graphic Novel: Tin Foil Hats ON

    We discuss the new graphic novel of Demon in the Wood! We answer such questions as: How did seeing the story feel different than just reading the words? Whose ring is Baghra wearing? In any other universe, would this have been a story about Sylvie? And of course: Why wouldn’t amplifiers wear gloves in the snow?? Spoilers for the Shadow and Bone trilogy, Netflix Shadow and Bone season 1, Language of Thorns, and, obviously, Demon in the Wood.
