Shadow and Bone season 2 will be based on Leigh Bardugo’s book Siege and Storm, with some elements from Ruin and Rising brought in as well. So, yeah, I think there was a bit of pressure to please the fans but also show them something new, like a remixed version of all their favorite books.” “For me, that was quite exciting because that’s what I like about adaptations, taking what’s really good in the books and changing it.
