It is based on two series of books by Leigh Bardugo set in the Grishaverse, namely, the Shadow and Bone trilogy and the Six of Crows duology.
The second series starts right after the first season ended and war is coming to the land as the two main characters Alina and Mal seek out objects to harness Alina's powers to bring down the Dark Fold and to stop The Darkling for good. Most of their story was pretty boring and they have no chemistry whatsoever as lovers and companions. However the Mercenary Thieves The Crows were awesome and highly entertaining as they were in the firsts season.
Led by the Bastard of the Barrel himself "Kaz Brekker" and the gang consists of the Assassin "Inej", the Gunslinger "Jesper", the Demolitions Expert "Wylan", and the Healer "Nina."
The Crows were the best thing about this series, they were awesome antiheroes with a hearts of gold and death.
The heroes are also allied with the mysterious Pirate Captain "Sturmhond" who has secrets and mysteries himself.
This was a better series than the first but the two main characters are boring and not that entertaining. I wish they just made a Crows series instead.
The acting was good, as was the unusual powers that most of them had, which reminded me a lot of The Last Airbender.
The fashion style of dress was brilliant, with European and Russian style to them.
The sinister shadow demons were scary and that was cool.
I am looking forward to the third and final series next year.
I shall rate this season a score of 8/10.
