watched ep 1. Basically because Barnes is in it. Desperately Need some context. Whats kefta? The tent? whats the rice eater thing? Kaz(?) goes to get the heartrender girl. Why didn't the Rollins guy do that in the first place, with all those henchmen and stuff? Is he supposed to be stupid?? That one guy(Alexei??) crossed the forbidden forest, but where did the ship end up....is it back to the camp where they started?? And most importantly whats the climate of the placed supposed to be.... freezing or sweltering? It looks like a hot desert, but the clothes seem to be Russia appropriate! I could just google these but dont want to be spoiled. Show seems well done
@@rbhatt2247 Keftas are the uniforms/long coats that the Grisha wear. Grish steel- made by durst- is sew into them to make them bullet proof. The 'rice eater' thing is people being racist to Alina, because she is part Shu. The Shu are people from another country- Shu Han- below Ravka and they are considered an enemy. It is hard to explain Pekka Rollins' character without giving away too much, but basically he is rival to Kaz in Ketterdam. He wants a lot of power and control .Rather than paying the heartrender to come with him, Rollins goes to The White Rose- where she is- and take it over. Becuase he then owns the white rose0 he would have owned her, but Kaz got to her first. Yeah, Alexei gets across The Fold, but the ship returns to the military base in East Ravka. It just goes back. Ravka is based off of old Tsar russia, so the clothing is also based off that. It is slightly colder- not as cold as Fjerda to the north- but colder. By the fold it looks like a desert, because the Fold killed everything when it was created, so it is just sand now. The show is really well done They kept close to the books, only changing a few things. Although everything that is happening with the crows- Jesper, Kaz, and Inej- is all new, it was not in the books. They made up prequel stories for those characters because the Six of Crows book takes place two years after the events of all three Shadow and Bone books Hope this helps!
Yes Adam, Kaz WILL be the center of your life... he is the best morally grey character I've read about... And we all love him!!! Plus him reminding you of Harry Stiles, the actor had a very Harry Styles-like session lately and said "Harry Styles ran so I could walk." lol
As a book reader, first of all I loved the adaptation, everyone did an amazing job. And second of all, I'm overjoyed that so many people are loving the show 💖
Yesss!!! Every character in this show is my kid though! Alina is the sweetest child and the Crows all think themselves hardened criminals but actually they are also my kids and Mal is a cinnamon roll and I can’t wait for you to meet Nina!
I love the casting of Kaz. When I was reading the books I imagined Leonardo DiCaprio playing him just from the author's description. And wow this is great.
@@bookdragon4622 yeah I was about to comment that haha! The Nikolai duology consists of King of Scars and Rule of Wolves... I'm currently reading King of Scars and I would HIGHLY recommend!
@@bookdragon4622 I know right haha! All the book fans just know everything so it's funny watching people react to the show when they don't know what's coming 😂
No spoilers, just a quick explanation of the locations and ideologies: The main locations are Ravka (Divided in 2 because of the fold and in war because of it), Fjerda (north of Ravka), Shu Han (south of Ravka) and Kerch, where there's the city of Ketterdam (where the crows are from). The Fjerdans believe Grishas are evil witches, the Shu Han experiment on Grishas and in Ketterdam Grishas are usually bought as slaves. East Ravka is basically the only safe place for Grisha.
If you like the actor who played Kaz he also did a "early-teen" serie on netflix called Free Rein, that's why it looked so familiar to me but couldn't remember why 😂 I've only seen that show when I was babysittin my cousin.
YOU'RE KIDDING I'VE BEEN WATCHING UR RIVERDALE REACTIONS FOREVER AND NOW YOU'RE REACTING TO MY FAVORITE SERIES IN EXISTENCE?????? I CANT WAIT TO WATCH THESE
Everyone saying Adam you ain't ready for simping over the guys even though you said you won't on one side, me saying he's going to love and protect Milo the goat with his life...more than the guys!!!
When they first called his name I was like wait, his name is Cas? Seriously? + blue eyes and a stoic look? Chiseled jaw? Welps I guess it's obligatory to fall immensely in love with him. But his name is Kaz, oh well, close enough.
Don't worry Adam I have also not read the books. I was hesitant at first because it went straight to the point with everything happening in the world. As the episodes progress you'll love it more and understand t the universe more.
in this universe there are some major places. There's East Ravka which is where Alina and Mal grew up in. To the north of Ravka is The Fjerdan Territory which has been at war with Ravka for ages due to the grisha that live there. The south of Ravka is Shu Han which is filled with spies and no one trusts them (cause they're shady) Then on the other side of the fold is West Ravka, Noyovi Zem, and Ketterdam. Ravka doesn't have a good relationship with the Shu or the Fjerdans so the only way to get supplies and materials is to go through the Fold to get them.
I haven't read the books either. I do know some of the characters because I read the spin-off series with the crew from Ketterdam, but the whole storyline is new to me since I haven't read this particular series so it's nice to go in with fresh eyes
Adam, you can't believe how much I wished for this And I'm glad that you don't know the books, I really wanted to see a reaction from someone, who doesn't know what to expect, especially if that someone is you, because you are fantastic
Yeah, the writers wanted 10 episodes. But Netflix gave them a fixed budget even with the 2 extra episodes. So the settled with 8 and were able to have better special effects, basically. But they did want 10. But Netflix wouldn't give them anymore money to do that well.
Right ! it’s amazing I love his reactions and when I saw this video I lost it haha 😂 I’ve only read six of crows but it’s still interesting to see non readers react to the show
Like, I already loved your "Supernatural" reactions, and then I took a good look at the collection behind you of your various DVDs and pops and everything, and I'm not even done this video yet, and you've just gotten to talking about Kaz and how you think he'll have a spell over you, and FAM, I wish we could be IRL friends! Same here about Kaz, and it was especially the fact that you have Digimon DVDs and flat out mentioned AtLA!
I fell in love with this show in the first five minutes. I can't wait for season 2! I haven't read the books but this show made buy them. I love the effects in this show!
Omg I literally gasped and could not click fast enough when I saw you reacted to this!! I just finished the series and I’m SO excited to rewatch with you!!
I'm so excited about this! Because all the reactions for this tv show that I found so far are from people who read the books. So I'm really interested in seeing how this will go.
i started watching the show a few days ago and i love it so far. i didn't know it was based on a book tho. i just thought the trailer looked cool, so i decided to watch it
Adam saying he's not going to simp over the boys in this show when Kaz, Jesper, Kirigan, Mal, and Matthias exist is funny.
you're absolutely correct
Forreal! Lol
We all know how it's gonna end🤣
Nikolai in season 2 is gonna kill him
@@abnormallyadam Jesper would laugh so much at that comment. #episode5 🤣
Adam: “I’m not going to simp”
All of us: Oh honey, you got a big storm coming
AHAHAHAH FR
FOR REAL THOUGH LMAOO
😂😂😂 when he said it i was like.."oh boy you have no idea of darkling and his first name..." ❤️
He says that as he’s wearing a university of simp shirt hahaha 😂😂
“but why do i feel like kaz is gonna have this power over me” 💀 me reading ch 2 of six of crows lmaoooo
Chapter 2 is the best character introduction I've read so far !! If you're reading the books for the first time : you're gonna love it !
Boyyyyy....Kaz is everything!!!...I read the books, I know what I am talking about 😉
"I'm gonna try not to simp over any boys in this show"
Famous last words
Mood tho
as soon as he said that i was like "yeah alright adam whatever you say" hahaha
I was like "I'm waiting for his reaction when he sees Ben Barnes"😂😂
ADAM GET READY FOR MORE CRUSHES. EVERYONE IS ATTRACTIVE.
Fr, like it's so unfair
Why having crushes when Milo exists?
"we only met her for 2 seconds but she seems like a badass" the power inej has over all of us
"Why do I feel like Kaz will have this power over me?" ... I'm just over here nodding along.
He’s gonna love Wylan when he finally shows up in the next season, I just KNOW IT 😭❤️
omg he is

Kaz is TOTALLY gonna have a hold over you
You don’t understand...
IM OBSESSED 😫
Same
Adam: I feel Kaz is shady...
Me: oh honey, you have no idea...
As a book reader, first of all I loved the adaptation, everyone did an amazing job. And second of all, I'm overjoyed that so many people are loving the show 💖
Yes Kaz also has some kind of power over me AND HE DOES LOOK LIKE HARRY STYLES
No wonder I'm obsessed
Adam: I'm not gonna simp over any boys
Me: Mate, Ben Barnes is in this show. Good luck with that.
also already simping for kaz too LMAOO
Excuse me, Kit Young?? Jesper?
Ben is the darling yes?
Bc if so than absolutely
Yesss!!! Every character in this show is my kid though! Alina is the sweetest child and the Crows all think themselves hardened criminals but actually they are also my kids and Mal is a cinnamon roll and I can’t wait for you to meet Nina!
Just wait for wylan! 😂
Cant wait for his reaction to Ben Barnes 😍
hell yes
It's really cool to see how a person who hasn't read the books sees the show
I love the casting of Kaz. When I was reading the books I imagined Leonardo DiCaprio playing him just from the author's description. And wow this is great.
i was you the moment kaz entered hahaha i can relate on a very deep level. that boy got a hold of me and never let go even after the season ended
I haven’t anticipated anything more in my life.(I made these books my personality for a hot minute). There’s 5 books btw.
There are 7 now. Nickoli got his own duology.
@@bookdragon4622 yeah I was about to comment that haha! The Nikolai duology consists of King of Scars and Rule of Wolves... I'm currently reading King of Scars and I would HIGHLY recommend!

ngl Kaz took my simping level to a whole new level
six of crows duology is sooo good, you really should read it
When you said you're not going to simp over any of the boys I was like "Ohhhh honey, you're watching the wrong show."
I already know for a fact that these boys are going to ruin your life. They already ruined mine
OH MY GOD IM FREAKING OUT THE BOOKS ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND THE SHOW I CANT-🤚🏼🤚🏼
i love when people pause to talk during reactions!!! that's literally what we're here for. the commentary, the ranting, the simping!
If you like the actor who played Kaz he also did a "early-teen" serie on netflix called Free Rein, that's why it looked so familiar to me but couldn't remember why 😂 I've only seen that show when I was babysittin my cousin.
The first episode or so is very densely information-packed for those who haven’t read the books, but it gets easier to follow after a while!
As for Kaz and his magical hold over you. It's the cheekbones
Yay 😁 I was looking forward to the Shadow & Bone reactions. Binge watched it last weekend.
YOU'RE KIDDING I'VE BEEN WATCHING UR RIVERDALE REACTIONS FOREVER AND NOW YOU'RE REACTING TO MY FAVORITE SERIES IN EXISTENCE?????? I CANT WAIT TO WATCH THESE

not adam saying Freddy reminds him of Harry styles ughhhh my heart
Don't worry Adam I have also not read the books. I was hesitant at first because it went straight to the point with everything happening in the world. As the episodes progress you'll love it more and understand t the universe more.
i havent even started the reaction yet and im excited for him to see mal, Kaz, Jesper, and Matthias
OMG AND KIRIGAN LMAOO

they WAY MAL IS SO UNDERRAPPRECIATED BOGGLES ME TO NO END love these thank you adam.......

If you want more content, the books by Leigh bardugo are excellent! I especially recommend six of crows, that duology is a masterpiece
His reactions are always fun to watch but damn this is interesting to see from a non-reader's POV lol
Right ! it’s amazing I love his reactions and when I saw this video I lost it haha 😂 I’ve only read six of crows but it’s still interesting to see non readers react to the show
