I did watch the show recently and kind of inclined towards reading the Crows duology. What do you say? Is the knowledge from the show enough to read the books as I am pretty much aware of everything Kim talked about in the video.
This was so helpful! I recently decided to finally read Six Of Crows Duology but when I brought the book I realised that there was a trilogy that came out before it. So I was freaking out about it, thinking that I needed to read all those books before I could start Six Of Crows. But thanks to you I know this isn’t the case. Thank you so much
Thank you this is such a big help! I’ve been wanting to read Six of Crows forever and picked them up the other day when I went out of town (nearest bookstore to me is a good two hours away). I heard somewhere online that there were references to Shadow and Bone and therefore SaB should be read first, and I was freaking out a little. This video helped clear things up so I’ll be starting Six of Crows asap. Thanks!
i tried reading shadow and bone before six of crows but tbh honestly trying to read it (at least the first one) feels like a chore also i recommend watching the first episode of the show before you read the books but especially shadow and bone cause i could not visualize anything that was going on because it wasn’t described and it gives you actors to visualize as the characters : )
The shadow and bone Netflix show was very confusing to me when I tried watching it. Loved the fantasy elements but it wasn’t really explained to well, or rather, I felt like it wasn’t shown too well, on what was what. It felt like I had to have read the original book to understand what was going on. And I hadn’t then. I tried reading it sometime afterwards, but couldn’t get through it at the time. Regardless, it did peek my interest. But upon hearing the song “Birds of a Feather” by Lilith Max, I found out it was based on six of crows. And I think I’ll check it out and see what I think.
This is not super relevant/ you sort of find this out in the SOC duology, but Shu Han's Grisha are also persecuted. They conduct experiments (think: human experimentation, quite grusome) on Shu Grisha to figure out why Grisha have their special abilities, how the Shu can benefit from them, how the Shu can fight against foreign Grisha etc. Also, Shu Han is a matrineal monarchy (you can find out more about this in the Nikolai duology, which is the series based 2? months after the events of Crooked Kingdom surrounding Nikolai, Zoya, and Nina).
Hi! I'm new to all of this. I started The Six of Crows and immediately got overwhelmed due to the number of characters. I tried to understand like what everything looked like. I was like "Is this kind of like Victorian interior " but I am completely lost. (I thought grisha meant a sorcerer but used as a servant) I don't know if there is a problem with me or this is a problem for everyone.
thank you for this omg. i’m only interested about shadow and bone just solely bc of zoya but i’ve heard the trilogy is so bland so thanks for saving my life with this explanation i’m finally ready to read the socnduology then kos duology
I read S&B trilogy first and I’m on Pg 67 on six of crows. I can’t. It’s not that interesting but I heard I have to just pull through maybe up to Pg 100 and it’ll get better. But I have a feeling I’ll be reading this bc my OCD requires I read all books if they’re linked. Ugh
This video was super helpful. I bought the Six of crows duoligy and everyone was like "You have to read Shadow and bone first blah blah blah blah blah" no I'm not gonna waste my time on a book I have no interest in babe🙄
Are the 2 series ayitable for beginners to fantasy? Would you say that reading shadow and bone series first is better in the sense that it would make more sense when reading the six of crows series?
I would suggest you to watch the series ( cause it won't take much time and you could also visualize the characters interaction while reading the book ) and then start reading "Six of crows" followed by "Crooked Kingdom".
I think shadow and bone is over rated. I came across another book called SCARLETT LOST IN THE FIVE LANDS by Rajendra Sarilla which turned out to be better than shadow and bone. If you are a true fantasy fan, then you should definitely read SCARLETT LOST IN THE FIVE LANDS by Rajendra Sarilla. It has powerful female characters, intimidating villains, dragons, and a magic school too. A complete fantasy package. It also deals with bullying since the titular character Scarlett is constantly bullied for being different. It is the first fantasy book that i came across which has a powerful female lead without needing to have a super powerful boyfriend to save her.
yes, go queen, give us everything and all we need to know about the grishaverse 👑👏
ALSKDJAK 🥺🥺😩😩
I'm reading Six of Crows after watching the Netflix show and watching your videos. This is helpful, thanks!
Yay!! Glad it was helpful!!

Omg thank YOU 💗💗🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️
Thank you for this! I read Shadow and Bone but it honestly went over my head, so this video is helping me to understand it a bit better.
this was so helpful!!! ive been so torn on whether i should read shadow and bone first but i just want to get to six of crows!

YWHSHAHA
Exciting!!
@@sunnykimreads They were so good! Now I have the SaB trilogy and the King of Scars duology on my desk waiting to be read.

That’s true - the show came through with aesthetics

Extremely helpful. Now I can enjoy reading the rest of the book with much clarity. Thanks a bunch for making this ❤

Oooooh omg thanks for the info ✨
No spoiler warning?? 😭😭 definitely didn’t want to know how the SAB series ended 😩
im literally so sad idk why she spoiled us
I mean tbf she did say that she’s going to tell us everything in the trilogy to
personally i like to know the ending, that way i can decide if the story is interesting enough for me to waste my time on it.
THANK U FOR YOUR COMMENT. This saved me from the spoiler!!!
THANK YOUUUUU FOR THE COMMENT

LOVED the Netflix series, now im seeing theres a ton of Grisha based content on Audible too. I'll be going after all that next😜
Thank you very much. I just got Six of Crows and came running here when some dude used air bending to push a cop out of a room.
Tysm this was so helpful

Are the 2 series ayitable for beginners to fantasy?
Would you say that reading shadow and bone series first is better in the sense that it would make more sense when reading the six of crows series?
When a book character is named after me: oooo
Omg
Shadow and bone literally has wattpad level writing.. I can't go through 3 books of that
What is squallers
You should read all the books including Shadow and Bones before reading the Nikolai duology though, or you'll be lost.
I'm not interested in shadow and bone but i want to read six of crows so should i see the netflix show and then read the book or wot?
I would suggest you to watch the series ( cause it won't take much time and you could also visualize the characters interaction while reading the book ) and then start reading "Six of crows" followed by "Crooked Kingdom".
im still confused about where kaelish people are from 😭
thank you so much for the video, I'm looking forward to reading Six of Crows but I'm not that interested in the first trilogy, it helped a lot!! 💜💜

The whole video is great but the most helpful part was finally know how all this shit is pronounced
