What we’re seeing in Season 2 is actually a splicing of these two stories. This would fit with the series moving on to Siege and Storm, the second book in the Grisha trilogy, except they never actually cover the events of book one for the Crows. Everything the Crows are doing with Pekka comes from the second book in their duology, Crooked Kingdom. The problem is it's all happening out of order. And a lot of what they deal with involving overthrowing Pekka Rollins ( Dean Lennox Kelly) in the first half of the season is actually lifted directly from the books. Sturmhond overall comes off as way less trustworthy than his show counterpart who only performs a few somewhat shady but ultimately well-meaning bits of deception to get Alina to go along with him.Įverything involving the Crows in Season 2 of Shadow and Bone is fittingly chaotic.

It’s extremely different from how it turns out in the show with Sturmhond being a benevolent force the whole time and the Darkling busy battling his demons while Alina snags one of the two remaining amplifiers. The Darkling is with them all this time but after Mal tracks down the Sea Whip and the Darkling is distracted trying to capture it, Sturmhond, his crew, along with Alina and Mal all flee as it turns out Sturmhond is on their side. They’re on their way to collect the second amplifier, the Sea Whip, on their way back. The Darkling ( Ben Barnes) almost immediately managed to track down Alina and Mal ( Archie Renaux) after their escape and had them put on boats back to Ravka, boats that turn out to belong to Sturmhond.

In Siege and Storm, the second Grishaverse book, the privateer Sturmhond ( Patrick Gibson) doesn’t use the Crows to get information on Alina’s whereabouts, the Crows aren’t even in the story.
