Shadow and Bone, based on bestselling author Leigh Bardugoâs
Grishaverse novels, is filled with mind-bending magic, terrifying action, a massive world-spanning adventure â and one badass trio of criminals.
And if youâre into strong YA female heroes like
The Hunger Gamesâ Katniss Everdeen or
Divergentâs Tris Prior, then youâre going to love
Shadow and Boneâs Alina Starkov (played by Jessie Mei Li). Itâs Alina, after all, who kickstarts the showâs wild journey when she discovers that sheâs much more than the cartographer sheâs believed to be, but instead, holds within her an extreme amount of power â enough to possibly vanquish the dark expanse, known as the Shadow Fold, thatâs keeping her country from getting the supplies it needs to survive.
