It is no secret around these parts that I am always and forever obsessed with the original Grisha Trilogy! (I refuse to call it the Shadow and Bone Trilogy - it is not.) I first read Shadow and Bone in early 2016, quite a few years late, but obviously fell in love with it. I was instantly drawn to the characters, especially Alina and the Darkling. Though there were ups and downs with the series, I remain in love with it and even did a recent re-read. I still need to dig back into Siege and Storm!
The biggest debate I see over and over with this series even seven years after its release is Team Darkling vs. Team Mal. I have a LOT of feelings about this, which I've already outlined in previous reviews (mostly this one), but they break down to this:
- Mal is the worst.
- Darkling is problematic but I love him.
And now, NOW, Grisha fans, we are being blessed with a Netflix show! I've seen a few fancast ideas and honestly I have no idea who I want in the character roles! I am the worst at fancasts. I'd love to know who you'd like to see though!
Which team are you on in the great debate?
Who would you love to see cast?
Let me know in the comments!
