    "His purpose was her but now he needs to find a new purpose." Yes, you get it! So many people were/are shitting on Mal for "dumping her" but if it was the other way around and Alina wanted space, everybody would be clapping. Finding yourself is valid no matter the gender.

      He is also so respectable and loves her in such a secure way he's healthy for her. They choose eachother full on consciously this time, that's the key. The respect of freedom and the respect of one's boundaries is the biggest respect there is between people. And Mal perfectly delivers that.

    • @Mpant.
      @Mpant. Před rokem +11

      In the books she learned to control it indeed, trained for it before the big battle, until she lost her powers as a whole to tear down the folt (how is it written, sorry 😂). So I'm happy they didn't take the book route and they're giving Alina the arc she deserves, independence and power, with both light and dark where she learns to tame them both and uses them to do good. The dark you see is the dark she absorbed when she fought the darkling, it's not just because of merzost, in the books that's the explanation or she always had both in her in the series. Either way it's awesome in my opinion and I can't wait to see what season 3 will be like.

    Regarding the Matthias dreams of Nina, I'd say it's safe to we don't know lol. They didn't in the book, but the characters are all aged up in the show, and they only showed us a few glimpses of them being stranded. They were out there for months. I kinda took it as they did sleep together maybe, but honestly until they confirm in another season, we don't know. Ppl gotta get it through their heads that not everything is gonna be the same as the books.

    shadow and bone is a trilogy, six of crows is a duology. there is talk of them doing a six of crows spin off to properly delve into the crows’ plot. also in this season they covered most of the shadow and bone plot from the 2nd and 3rd book, so if there are more seasons they will probably draw on new material, or some of the plot from nikolai’s duology, king of scars

    23:04 it's from the book!!!!
    “I don’t want your prayers,” he said.
    “What do you want, then?”
    The old answers came easily to mind. Money. Vengeance. Jordie’s voice in my head silenced forever. But a different reply roared to life inside him, loud, insistent, and unwelcome. You, Inej. You.
    He shrugged and turned away. “To die buried under the weight of my own
    gold.”
    (...)
    Inej turned to go. Kaz seized her hand, keeping it on the railing. He didn’t look at her. “Stay,” he said, his voice rough stone. “Stay in Ketterdam. Stay with me.”
    She looked down at his gloved hand clutching hers. Everything in her wanted to say yes, but she would not settle for so little, not after all she’d been through. “What would be the point?”
    He took a breath. “I want you to stay. I want you to … I want you.”
    “You want me.” She turned the words over. Gently, she squeezed his hand.
    “And how will you have me, Kaz?”
    He looked at her then, eyes fierce, mouth set. It was the face he wore when he was fighting.
    “How will you have me?” she repeated. “Fully clothed, gloves on, your head turned away so our lips can never touch?”
    He released her hand, his shoulders bunching, his gaze angry and ashamed as he turned his face to the sea.
    Maybe it was because his back was to her that she could finally speak the words. “I will have you without armour, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all.”
    Speak, she begged silently. Give me a reason to stay. For all his selfishness and cruelty, Kaz was still the boy who had saved her. She wanted to believe he was worth saving, too.

      @@queenigelkotte Netflix does not care about ranking, it cares about viewing hours. Shadow and Bone season 2 received 50 million viewing hours in its first week which is considered “low” for a second season. For comparison, “outer banks” szn 3 got 150 million viewing hrs in its first week and “You” szn 4 got 93 hrs in its first week. Also shadow and bone season 2 debuted as number 2, not 1, behind “You” season 4 😔. Unless the veiwing hours for BOTH the second and third week go up to about 70-80 million (which is unlikely), it is safe to say that it will be cancelled. Honestly, the only way I see it getting renewed is if the fandom rallies and streams.

Bigger kanej shipper than me. She REALLY likes Nina and Sankta Neyar speeches. Overall she liked it, except for the fact that Mal dump Alina even before the Darkling was burned. She was like 'what do you mean? She just resurrected you, killed the villain and destroyed that fold?' she understands Mal but like 5 mins after everything is over? She was a Darklina. Said that if Alina just chose Kirigan in the first place and whip him into submission, the show was over.

And once she does accept that and wants to protect and make ravaki better, they remove her powers and identity and then she lives happily ever after with her childhood romance(which lacks a lot of depth and chemistry).

So it doesn’t make sense for her character by the end of the journey, to just want to abandon all power,identity and responsibility to live with mila in the middle of nowhere. By doing that to her character it makes it cheap and boring, like what was the point in her story if she ended the exact way it started with no real personality or motivational changes.

    -Yes, the Volcras breed, in fact there is a unpleasant scene when Alina and Mal come across a nest inside the folde.
    -Jesper is a inept Durast, in this case he would be a nuisance rather than a help in this case, because he doesn't have a good control of his power.
    -Yes, the words that Aleksander says are in the book. He asked Alina to burn his corpse because he didn't want his grave to be desecrated.
    -I don't understand where David's premature death will take us, since he still has a lot to do and he is an important character, that's a mystery. I really hope he hasn't died.
    -I would have liked to see more of Zoya in this season, she and Nikolai are my favorite characters, after The Crows of course.
    -Yes Sujaya Dasgupta aka Zoya is a very beautiful woman. I'm a big fan of her.
    -In the books the power of Alina and Aleksander has a price, and Alina paid the price, when she destroys The Fold she completely loses her power and she is the one who now has no purpose in life, I'm not a big fan of this twist that they gave her in the show tbh. We'll see how they manage to follow this line.🤷
    -And it's with this episode that Netflix divided the fandom, they said that the show would be like a light fanfic, but after this episode we don't know how much more they will Frankenstaining the plots of the books, I want to see more of Zoya, Nikolai and The Crows but I'm not a fond of the direction the producers are giving to this show.
