“We get it, they were orphans”
“Oh my god, they were orphans...”
Definitely would love to hear Hayden’s thoughts on Six of Crows and Ninth House! I was actually super impressed with the show overall and I can’t wait for more focus on the crows
you liked kirigan saying to mal, "i don't need to kill you, time will do it for me." while i loved mal saying to kirigan, "i don't need to kill you, your past will do it for me"... besties methinks ✨
Please read six of crows together!!!! I want to see both of you talking about the crows :-)
I completely agree with you guys about the training stuff in the show and the book. The show was arguably worse for me, though. That Zoya/Alina scene was so random and out of place with everything else since there was no other hand-to-hand fighting. I also wanted more development between her and Baghra.
I would love to see you guys read and talk about six of crows😍
I would love to see y'all read Six of Crows! They were my favourite part of the show as well. Chan I know you said Kanej didn't really pay off for you in the end but I think that's the point. They are a couple that are super subtle and delicate and needed to be treated very gently because of their similar trauma (in terms of touch). After Rule of Wolves, there should be another SoC book which will most likely have the Kanej ending we all deserve.
yep you're right, i def don't mean to disrespect the touch aversion aspect!
From what I remember of the end of Crooked Kingdom, there are some dangling storylines with Nina and Inej (though maybe some of the Nina stuff gets fleshed out in King of Scars/Rule of Wolves -- I don't remember what happens in the former and have yet to read the latter). It would be amazing to see a final installment that turns the SoC duology into a full trilogy.
@@iyah1046 Yeah you will have to read Rule of Wolves first. I don't want to spoil anything. But from that ending there should be another heist, just don't know how long it will take.
"steampunk ocean elevens" is the perfect way to describe Six of Crows
DBBC is my favorite thing on your channel, I love it
thanks so much!
yass my favourite duo speaking about this series.
Everytime you do this series I'm always so impressed at how much Hayden remembers abt the plot/details of these books when I basically forget half of it the second I put the book down lol
Alina in the books hid her powers so she wouldn’t be separated from Mal. At least that’s what I remember!
She does get tested in the books! I don’t remember the details but yes she is suppressing her powers and that’s why she is always tired, sickly, and can’t eat. Once she starts using her powers she sleeps better, and gets fro her and healthier. It’s either stated or implied that her sickly state was due to the energy it took to suppress her powers.
@@taylorgayhart9497 Thank you for explaining this! I watched the show first and then just finished the first book and I was very confused as to what happened in the books with her testing.
Actually, I think you're all kind of right lol. They did get tested but I didn't read it so much as "she knew she had powers and tried to hide them her whole childhood" but rather she didn't want to discover she had them when she was tested, stifled them unknowingly, and never discovered them until The Great Skiv Incident with Mal.
"You could see that full-fleshed Alina... person" 😂 Book-Alina is so annoying, Jessie Mei Li really made her more relatable and nice to root for! Also, when you emphasize how much Ben Barnes is a snack and your fiance gives approximatively 0 fucks 😂😂😂 How I love DBBC, your discussions are so interesting and fun!
I also liked six of crows only. I didn't believe the romance or was interested in their story. Jasper was so cool and the crew of so entertaining and fun. I hope we get to see them more in second season.
I just want to say in the third book it is just a big deal that when the darling told Alina his name. It was one of the plot points and a character moment between. I was upset that they said it so flippantly
Also in the rest of books it is expanded on that they are drawn together because of their powers. She feels like she can be powerful with him, that she is allowed to want to use her power. He draws on her darkness and selfishness and makes it feel justified for her.
Vs with Mal who makes her feel human and shows what the rest off the humans are thinking, grounded. He’s her family. But for awhile he also made her feel guilty for wanting more and taking it upon herself for trying to defeat the darkling and the fold.
YOU HAVE TO READ THE WHOLE SERIES ruin and rising was soooo well done and the development is amazing especially with mal and alina together and as individuals
Hayden got a haircut!
he did :))
💃🎶Secret Tunneeeel🎶💃
I LOVED Ninth House. Moody, dark, and original. Alex Stern was flawed and amazing. You should totally have him read that one for DBBC. Although, I agree, their is nothing dumb about Alex.
i would love to see them read six of crows and the nikolai duology (both are far better than the first trilogy)
In the book Alina suppresses her power when being tested by the Grisha, that's why she didn't know. The reason for the scar on her hand is explained in the second book and is unrelated to her powers as Grisha! So the show made a slight change there, but I thought it came out even better :)
There is a backstory Leigh wrote for The Darkling! So if you want you should check it out it's a shortstory✌🏼
If I’m being honest the antlers were a big let down for me. I always envisioned them much larger and having the tips pointing down towards her collarbone. But overall I much preferred the show to the books.
Okay yes finally someone who also loved Freddy in Free Rein 😂😂 I did a double take but Hayden looks so different with short hair lmao
I really vibe with this white/black t-shirt thing you guys got going on
Chandler saying ‘I liked his (darkling) scars, I thought they were pretty cute’ is what I am living for 😂😂♥️
The only love interest that made sense hasn't been introduced yet. I've said it. I'll go down with that ship.
Also I have so much respect for your fiance since he devotes a lot of time in order to know your hobbies and interests.
Agreed!! Totally forgot about mal and the darkling when he was introduced lol
@@jserf2244 a pirate prince? that's it.
I agree that he is by far the most likable and best fit for Alina. But I think there was never really love and attraction between them, just strong friendship
he's a total sweetheart and has been so supportive of me and my channel. surprises me every time he says yes to reading things for me haha
i love the pair so much but the closest thing they had to romance between them was a political move imo. i really do love their banter tho
I would love for you two to talk about Ninth House 🙏
I also love Jessie as Alina! Mal and Alina in the book were just super meh.
Six of Crows would be the perfect book to read for this, since Kaz is the ultimate Dumb Bitch.
Also, Ben Barnes said in an interview that he stole a black kafka and gave it to the head writer so he would be remined of the darkling next season. He plays the long game.
Please Hayden reading the devils night books would be too funny
yess doing a dbbc on six of crows would be so great !!
Just finished the show recently and loved it! It’s been years since I read the trilogy but the show is making me want to reread it. Loved hearing all of your thoughts and I would love to see you guys discuss Six of Crows.
the part where your boyfriend described what went down with bagra and alina cracked me up
If Jennifer L. Ermantrout wrote shadow and bone the first half of the Shadow and Bone would’ve been two books 600 pages each instead of one 🤣
I would love to hear Hayden's thoughts about Six of Crows
Yessss!!! I was waiting for your thought on these books!!
Yes you definitely have to read six of crows they are amazing :)
I agree the show made me want to read the books. But I'm glad I read Six of Crows at least so I understood the Grishaverse a little bit, I can't imagine what it would be like to watch it and not know what's going on at all.
Unrelated but 34:27 made me so happy as an ATLA stan 😌
haha he just rewatched the whole thing which i think is why he couldnt think of anything to say but "bend"
"Channel" "unblock" "she's literally just a random orphan girl who figures out she has power, and she's not ready to bear that kind of responsibility of saving mankind essentially" yeah, we know what this man's been reading 😏
wow the thumbnail is amazing!
thank you
Yes, read Six of Crows!
Hayden in depth remembering the plot like 🤔🤔🤔
I'm reading the Wheel of Time too. Know I wanna knkw how he feels about it
i'm hoping to read it myself so we can do a video on it. dunno if it would be a dbbc but i'm super curious to see if he and i have similar tastes in adult fantasy
@@chandlerainsley hahaha well the MC can be called a dumb bitch simetimes, so maybe. I would love a review by noth of you on it!
@@candiceneves1865 hahahaha you are correct
My favorite love interest was Nikolai 😂
Yes yes yes yes I would love to see you read six of crows together!!!!!
I didn’t know six of crows show up in the show! Now I’m excited to watch
yes please lets read six of crows i freaking love them and the books so much !!!
i think i would cry if you guys read ninth house since it's my favorite book of all time
My parents are back!
please read the six of crows series!!
yes!!! pls read six of crows!! that would be so amazing lol
Yaaaasssssss
Commenting before watching im loving this show. Did not read the book. I have since read 6 of crows fir obvious reason ahaha
Yessss I too think she secretly knew like her entire arc in shadow & bone is that she can't summon her power bc she's suppressed them fearing it would separate her from Mal, her life line and slowly as she starts to let go of him under the darkling's influence, she stops pushing down her power and becoming who she'd been her whole life, this leading to the major conflict between mal and Alina
I would love it if you read Six of Crows soon!
Please read and review Six of crows it's soooo good ! And it saddens me that you haven't read the second book : you have to meet everyone's favorite shadow and bone character ! (okay maybe not everyone's favorite but no one can't help loving him ! )
Also if you love original world building, mythology, interesting complex villains ( the big main ones at least) and realistic romance you should read Kate Daniels. It's a very underated urban fantasy, which I think as a lot to do with the first book which was too confusing for a lot of people but it gets so much better in the second and then it's just better and better !
You mean Nikolai 😏
@@queeneileen6752 Well... didn't to spoil it but... Yes of course
I got hype for this video after the tease of it on insta stories last night!
and i loved jessie portrayal of alina especially when she says "so no pressure" loved that little bit of sass from her
six of crows please 🥺
I love the mention of him as Pin in Free Rien (no I can’t spell). When I heard he was cast I was pumped I love him as an actor.
Is it possible to read the six of crows without reading the last two books of the first trilogy? I found the first book boring but the TV show made me really want to find out about all the side characters 🤣
you can read Six of Crows without reading any of Shadow & Bone!
That thumbnail is just **chef’s kiss**
ty ty!
now I need to see your thoughts on six of crows...
Secret tunnel 🎶
This is so fun to listen to especially because you two haven't finished the series haha
I really want to watch this video, but I want to watch Shadow and Bone first, so I don't get spoiled for the show, but before I watch Shadow and Bone I want to read Six of Crows, so I don't spoil the book for me, but before I read Six of Crows I want to read the rest Shadow and Bone trilogy, because I heard that it spoils the ending of Ruin and Rising, so before I can watch this video I need to read Siege and Storm, Ruin and Rising and Six of Crows and watch the Netflix show, so I think it'll take a bit before I get to this
honestly the show six of crows isn't based on the book yet, you'll learn about characters, but it definitely doesn't spoil the book. the show takes place before six of crows and it's almost like a prequel, so you should be fine tbh
1st episode was strong storytelling but the rest got a bit muddled for me and forcing both S&B and SOC into the same timeline didn't mesh well. Alina's story felt too grand for the Crows (despite them being my fave part of the show). The Crows showoff with the Grisha definitely helped this but I still dont feel any real connection between the two groups (Alina/Mal and Kaz/Inej/Jesper) at the end. I didn’t get the sense they really needed each other.
And the Nina/Matthias plot line (despite how cute though insta-love this was) could have been excluded completely without any impact to the main plot.
Great ideas and beautiful production design but overall a disjointed story.
However will I watch S2....um, yes.
I promised to watch Shadow and Bone with my best friend in a few weeks, and I'm super tempted to start it now. This was great! I've read the duology but not the trilogy, so I'm happy to hear you thought the tv series was better.
I enjoyed a lot hearing your thoughts about the book and series! Also I would love that you both read six of crows.
I think it's interesting that Leigh Bardugo did script writing previously, and it made sense reading the first book she wrote, that it reads more like a script. You have to pick up in a really detailed way what it would have looked like, and go to an outside perspective to realise what actually happened vs what Alina thinks. The show *shows you* and displays the characters better than the books, although the Darkling is way more sympathetic in the show.
King of Scars duology as well
i would LOVE to see a soc book club❤️
"she was a believable orphan"
1. lol
2. to be honest I think the actress of Aline really save the character. I haven't read the book but Alina in the show felt like just another YA fantasy girl at the beginning. But the acting, facial expressions and small reactions to the change/ the trauma made it really really believable for me. I think she did a pretty good job!
"Darkles not being humanized in the books" - Oh boy, some of y'all have not read The Demon in the Wood and it shows ;P
Yes please read Six of Crows!
They brought up shadow and bone by making it a tv show but they brought the crows down by combining them
I didn't read the books, so maybe this changes something.
But in the show I didn't think it was weird for her to trust Ben Barnes (forgot the name of the character). He's a general, whose visible goal is to win the war, which is made a lot harder by the fold.
Why shouldn't she trust him?
there are so many moments in this video i find so funny you’ve really cheered me up as i’ve just got out of hospital 😣 but the we get it we’re orphans and she had orphan vibes proper made me laugh🤣
Yesss love DBBC! I finally read the book after watching the show (mostly because I want to know what happens next haha) so this is great timing. I think having the show’s portrayal of the characters helped me enjoy it more.
I love these type of videos they’re my favorite on your channel
I love how invested Hayden gets! hhahaha I don’t even care that the Darkling is a villain, he’s way more interesting than Mal, I love him. And the Crows completely stole the show in the tv series for me! I really want them to continue the show and then focus more on the crows lol.
I can't wait for you guys to read six of crows
Been looking forward to your next video, but I haven't been able to get my hands on a free, online version of this book, and i won't watch it without reading it first. I can't wait to watch this after i have though! 😋
I've come back, listened to it on audible and saw the show.... the show was way better lol but i loved listening to you guys talk about it. I can't wait for season two because i listened to the second book & it was soooo much better than the first book imo & I'd love to see your take on it
y’all cute💕
ty!!
I would love to hear Hayden's thoughts on Six of Crows!!
Wheel of Time and the Expanse!!! Dude, I'd watch you do a show
i would love if you guys read six of crows next and then possibly ninth house!
I love how you read books together!!
I’m so ready for this!
SPOILERS FOR LATER BOOKS!
There is a moment in a later book where Alina says she felt something inside of her during the test as a kid, and she suppressed it :)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ SIX OF CROWS AND DO A VIDEO ON IT PLEASEEE
SO NICE TO ENJOY WITH U FRNDS
LKED TOO
Hayden should pick the next book
OMG please read six of crows again 🙏
may you always find water and shade
I'm really surprised he "liked" this one, I read shadow and bone for the first time this year and I hate it lol (and I like most of the other ones that you guys read), It's like..... I like the magic but in the book, I hated all the characters and I feel like this book has a lot of problems that people don't talk about (but talk in other books about how this or that is problematic which is good, but why not in this book? why only in books that are famous to hate?), maybe I just don't feel Leigh B writing (because I didn't enjoy ninth house either) but I'm really liking the show
also please read six of crows because i want to read it but I'm afraid to give her a third chance and fail
Love this! I’d love to see y’all read crescent city...or never night...or shatter me!

Soon after I read the books in high school, I kept wondering if the Darkling or the Apparat were based on Rasputin or both. I think another booktuber mentioned that.
I got HEAVY Rasputin vibes from the Apparat for sure
He seems like he would be an avid reader too
