Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That is my plan. I think I really want more of the Six of Crows storylines. I also really loved Nina and Matthias. And of course the main storyline. At least, unlike Bridgerton, I won’t start to read the novels only to remember I have already read them, because I don’t generally read much fantasy unless is also m/m romance. Or really, KJ Charles.

I listened to several interviews with the writer/creator of the series, and he seems like a lovely man, He described himself as a caretaker for adapted works, and also talked about making sure that his writers room and crew included mixed race folks, because he wasn’t the right one to tell the story. I liked that he said “I can’t take credit for the success, because I make sure I am working with the best people, and it is everyone’s success, but if it is a failure, it is my failure” (paraphrase). I love seeing artists like this (and Lin Manuel Miranda) who are just so collaborative. You do not have to be a shitty person to make good art!

Aw, always nice to hear about a creator doing stuff right.

Nina is my girl and the Crow books are my favorites. The Crows plot line on the show is not from the books at all, but it suits them.

I just started Shadow and Bone over the weekend. I think I'm 3 episodes in? It seems pretty good, and I'm hoping to get more backstory on some of the secondary characters.

Yes! But I am unconvinced that we need Noah Wylie here. Just go forward with the trio+Sophie.

And to tie some recent posts together - Six of Crows is kinda like Leverage with more magic and less altruism

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I am so ready.

Six of Crows is kinda like Leverage with more magic and less altruism

I shall keep that in mind. You would think with a year of doing nothing I would have caught up more with all the shows I want to watch, and yet.
