Shadow and Bone, adapted from author Leigh Bardugo s works. Netflix
If you ve spent any time at all on the corner of the Internet where fantasy readers live, breathe and theorize, you ll know that the April 23 release of Netflix s new show,
Shadow and Bone, is a
big deal.
Every so often, a fantasy series with adventure, magic and an unfairly attractive villain comes along and captures the imagination and attention of a passionate base of readers. And when that series leaps into a fully realized television adaptation? Well then, that niche fixation can become a global fantasy phenomenon overnight. And Netflix is hoping its new adaptation will do just that.
