Little do they know that our resourceful privateer set it up so that his would be the only boat left for them to get on. Now that Alina and Mal are the Grishaverse’s Most Wanted Couple (in terms of being fugitives and being superhot), they need to flee Novyi Zem to avoid getting captured by the First Army. Also, it allows him to say a supercool line in a supercool way: “The Barrel doesn’t belong to kings, it belongs to bastards.” Indeed!Īlina and Mal walk directly onto a ship … that belongs to Sturmhond. When Kaz blows up the thing that means the most to him in this world as a way to hurt Pekka, he’s declaring war. Not even the other four Crows - welcome to our favorite Heartrender, Nina, and newbie demolitions expert Wylan - see this move coming. We only get a brief flashback here in the first episode, but it’s enough to begin to unfurl Kaz’s secret origin story, letting us know that Kaz’s tragic past is tied to his childhood encounter with Pekka Rollins - now the most powerful man in the Barrel who has taken over Kaz’s Crow Club and framed him for murder. Kaz knows Pekka Rollins from his childhood! No wonder when he shoots, my man never misses! The bestest boy in all the Grishaverse has been hiding that he’s Grisha all this time! If, in season one, you wondered how Jesper was that good with a gun and also fixed Kaz’s cane with no tools, now you have your answer: He can manipulate metals and other materials with his hands. If you haven’t read the books, you’re probably like, Who the hell is Sturmhond, and why do I care? Sorry to this man. But trust me, this little reveal is much bigger than just, “Oh, the Crows thought they were hired by that Dreesen dude with the standout mustache, but it was actually someone else.” Sturmhond is a major player, but for now, just know that this pirate (okay, okay, privateer) is looking to track down the Sun Summoner now that she’s got some major bounties on her head since people assume she’s in cahoots with Kirigan. It was Sturmhond, the privateer, who actually hired the Crows to kidnap Alina in season one. Light and dark, baby, they come as a pair! It’s for a good reason: The fact that Alina isn’t just having nightmares about Kirigan expanding the Fold in Ravka, but that he’s actually doing it (1) adds some urgency to Alina figuring out how to stop him and (2) sets up the fact that Alina and Kirigan are connected somehow, which is a huge theme throughout the season. Shadow and Bone season two gets right into this reveal within the first five minutes, thanks to some Ravkan refugees Alina and Mal run into during their escape to Novyi Zem. Warning: Deep spoilers for Shadow and Bone season two lie ahead.Īlina’s dreams about Kirigan and the Fold aren’t just dreams … they’re really happening. Good luck on this journey - no mourners, no funerals, right? A lot is going on throughout eight episodes! In case you can’t keep track of them all or would like to navigate those surprises with a friend, we’ve got all the most important ones laid out here for you in this handy guide. Season two of the fantasy series is littered with them: Secret identities, secret relatives, latent powers, plot twists, surprising emotional character turns, and good old-fashioned reveals that push the story forward. Any Crow worth their weight knows the power of a well-deployed surprise, a flashy reveal, and a I-did-not-see-that-coming twist, and Shadow and Bone knows it too. This season, the Crows pull off some of their biggest ruses yet, and perhaps not so surprisingly, so does the series. Welcome back to the Grishaverse, my little crows! Season two of Netflix’s Shadow and Bone finds Sun Summoner Alina Starkov on the run as she figures out how to bring down the Shadow Fold in Ravka, while her newest allies, the Crows, return to Ketterdam to get up to what they do best - wearing hats on a tilt and thievery!
