On today’s episode of Take the Black, we get real about the second season of Shadow and Bone, which changed the books for the…worst? Very different?

Welcome to another award-winner (eventually, we assume) episode of Take the Black, the show where we break down the latest news from the worlds of fantasy, sci-fi, movies and TV. We are trailblazers are you will treat us as such.

Today, we kick things off with some of the beautiful (but not official) covers of The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring that have been floating around before diving into the second season of Shadow and Bone and all the ways it deviated from Leigh Bardugo’s book series, and not for the better. Watch below!

Naturally, we also talk about what we’re watching lately and enjoy another strike of the WiC News Lightning Round! It’s all real. It’s all happening.
