![]() ![]() If fans haven’t tuned in yet, they will be soon. And instead of just losing her powers as the Sun Summoner like in Ruin and Rising, when she rebukes the Fjerdan Heartrender’s attack on Nikolai’s coronation, she shockingly strikes her down using the Darkling’s signature move, the Cut … and it’s made from shadows, not light.Shadow and Bone is now available to stream on Netflix as of April 23, 2021. ![]() Mal is off playing Sturmhond, and Alina still remains at Nikolai’s side for the time being. A New Shadow Summoner?Īlina’s involvement in the story moving forward has been altered, given the fact that her and Mal have not disappeared into obscurity with their happy ending yet (faking her death in the process). While she initially seemed to be on their side, Elizaveta was revealed to working under the ulterior motive of bringing the Darkling back to life. While they’re there, they meet three Saints - Elizaveta, Juris, and Grigori. In the books, Nikolai, Zoya, and Yuri (of the Cult of the Starless Saint) set off on a mind-bending journey into a remnant of the Shadow Fold in an attempt to harness control of the monster inside of Nikolai. ![]() This is meant to be a nod to Elizaveta, the patron saint of gardeners who first appears to Nikolai and Zoya as a swarm of bees in King of Scars. However, in regards to one character in particular, it’s worth noting that there’s a brief moment in the finale where a bee lands on Zoya’s kefta. It remains to be seen just how much of the plot-heavy King of Scars and Rule of Wolves will be adapted, because there’s an entire array of characters and storylines there. (And following Nikolai’s brief nod to being a bastard, will we dive into the controversy of his heritage, too?) Elizaveta and the Darkling I could fix him” - we’ll hopefully see this slow burn romance come to fruition as she potentially works alongside him. Additionally, given Zoya’s sly comment - “Well, that one’s a mess. This means that we can likely expect to find Nikolai grappling with this growing problem in season 3. He turns to look in the mirror, and he’s met with the horrifying sight of a shadow monster staring back at him for a moment. When he’s getting dressed for the coronation in the show, Nikolai takes off his shirt, and we see tendrils of darkness spreading from the wound on his shoulder. Though he eventually returns to his human form after Alina kills the Darkling, in King of Scars, we learn that some of the darkness still lingers inside of him, and he struggles to maintain control of it. In Ruin and Rising, Nikolai ens up transforming into a bloodthirsty, winged monster as a result of this infection. The second season saw Nikolai attacked by one of the Darkling’s nichevo’ya, thus infecting him with merzost. This should also guarantee that the six Crows will finally all be united on-screen, as they will need to break Matthias out of Hellgate in order to infiltrate the formidable, impenetrable Ice Court. Given the fact that the show has confirmed that the chemist is indeed in Fjerda, this means that the Ice Court heist is finally coming. ![]() Kaz tells his crew that they’ve received an offer for the most lucrative job they’ve ever taken. We get a taste of this power when a Fjerdan Heartrender attacks everyone at Nikolai’s coronation, sending all of the guests plummeting to the floor as the choke on their own blood. Kaz explains to the Crows that the chemist who created it is currently awaiting trial in the hands of the Fjerdans, and if they were to weaponize it, the consequences would be devastating worldwide. Jurda parem is a highly addictive drug that amplifies the power of Grisha a thousand times over. In the season 2 finale, “No Funerals,” jurda parem is finally introduced. While audiences were thrilled that the show was able to bend the timeline of the Grishaverse in order to introduce our beloved Crows alongside the events of Shadow and Bone (rather than having to wait until later seasons to meet them), this meant that their own major plot lines had to be sidelined in order to work them into the story of the Sun Summoner. ![]()
