âShadow & Boneâ is a testament to the meteoric rise of the fantasy genre
There was a time when offerings in the fantasy genre were few and far between.
Nonetheless, we remained hooked to shows like âTrue Bloodâ, âThe Originalsâ, âAmerican Godsâ, âThe Magiciansâ, âThe Outsiderâ, âOutlanderâ and more as they arrived on the small screen.
David Benioff and D. B. Weissâs âGame of Thronesâ, based on the series of fantasy novels by George R. R. Martin, certainly propelled the genre by becoming a cult classic.
The award-winning medieval series - I will not revisit that anti-climatic ending that remains a sore point - left fans giddy with anticipation as to who will finally rule the seven kingdoms.
