Netflix’s adaptation of Shadow & Bone drops in less than a month. (Can you tell I’m counting the days?)

And the latest trailer gives us a TON of exciting new insight into the series! Watch it below.

First, the new trailer gives us the most expansive look at Alina’s powers yet. Not only do we see the explosion of light during the crossing of The Fold, we also get a first look at her training to harness her power. We get a glimpse of her working one-on-one with Baghra, conjuring an orb of light.

The Shadow & Bone series is actually based on two book series by Leigh Bardugo: the Shadow & Bone trilogy and the Six of Crows duology. In Bardugo’s books, these stories take place in the same world, but sequentially; Six of Crows happens years after the events of Shadow & Bone. 

Specific details about how the Netflix show would integrate the stories to run on concurrent timelines have been kept under wraps. But this latest trailer confirms a long-running fan theory about how the plotlines will intersect: The Crows will be hired to kidnap Alina!

I love Bardugo’s books, and this trailer looks so exciting and magical. I can’t wait to watch the show!

(L to R) KIT YOUNG as JESPER FAHEY, FREDDY CARTER as KAZ BREKKER and AMITA SUMAN as INEJ GHAFA in SHADOW AND BONE

So, what do you think of the new trailer? What part of Shadow & Bone are you most excited to see come to life? (Or what part of Six of Crows?) Let me know in the comments.
