Shadow and Bone was written just a decade ago, the book first appearing on shelves in 2012. There is no dearth of source material for a series that may run several seasons. Leigh Bardugo’s Shadow and Bone may only be the first of a fantasy trilogy-the Netflix series, much like HBO’s Game of Thrones, choosing the first book’s title as the series title-but the “Grishaverse” extends across more than seven novels. ![]()
