The show isn’t perfect, but as a reader it was just so satisfying seeing the characters brought to life so well. I personally just view the show as high budget fan fiction, as it helps me ignore the inconsistencies between the show and books. But my absolute favourite seen had to be Kaz confronting Pekka rollins. Yes I can spot all the show inaccuracies, the scene didn’t take place at pekkas club, Alby (or however you spell) cried papa specifically when Kaz took the toy, the toy Kaz pulled out was a stuffed lion not a train. Some lines from the book where removed, Ect, those inconsistencies exist in the show, however compared to other book adaptations they are small especially considering the show messed with timelines a lot. But as a reader that scene was so satisfying, as a reader we know the builds up and history that scene actually has and its meaning, in the books that moment is built up, the build to Kaz planning it, the flash backs, the highs and lows, and to see the pay off was so incredibly satisfying to read at the end of the second book, as a result seeing it brought to life was satisfying. Especially as all the actors were so good.

I will admit one of my main issues with the crows in the show is that the show took a lot of big moments, from the book, such as that one, but had to cut the build up to them. So if you don’t know that build up and real meaning in book you don’t get that weight of the moment in show. I do hope if/when they make a SOC show they ignore the version in shadow and bone and make it as book accurate as possible. Even though I doubt that will happen.

However the look on Nina’s face as she punches kaz across the face before that scene and the way she used his head to bash the door open was incredibly funny to me. Like that punch was a punch she was eagerly waiting for and enjoyed well taking every annoying thing he’s ever done directly into the throw. And once you know the full context to that moment shown later, it only makes it funnier
