Reply to comment by hikemalls in ‘Shadow And Bone’ Season 2 Debuts At No. 2 On Netflix Top 10; Korean Drama ‘The Glory’ Is Most-Viewed Title For Second Week by HumanOrAlien

>felt like they tried to cram 3 books’ worth of material into 8 episodes

They basically did that with 2.5 books - they combined the final 2 books of the Grisha trilogy into this season with 4 eps each, and sprinkled some significant subplots and character interactions from the second Crows duology books in there too.

It was still better than The Witcher S2 at least since it still stays true to the characters and doesn't wildly change anything, but they definitely had to skip or rush some great things from the trilogy, and I'm very curious to see how they adapt the Crows duology with how they've moved some stuff from there into this season.

They left a bunch out of the show which they could put into season 3, like the whole thing with the Apparat’s cult, and Nikolai’s mountain fortress.
