      Critics Consensus

      Shadow and Bone's sophomore season packs in too much story sinew to properly breathe, but this adventure remains great fun for fantasy fans.

      Nic Autostraddle Overall, season two has all of the tenets of a high fantasy adventure including a beautiful world to play in and themes of love, fate, and choice to explore. Mar 23, 2023 Full Review Dais Johnston Inverse In Season 2, the series delivers once again, amping up both aspects of Season 1 that made it successful and growing the series into more than just a Game of Thrones and Harry Potter successor — but something entirely new itself. Mar 20, 2023 Full Review Sarah Shaffi AV Club This season is supersized: more characters, more settings, more plot, more danger, and more fighting. Rated: B Mar 17, 2023 Full Review Gissane Sophia Marvelous Geeks Media Shadow and Bone Season 2 considerably improves through its visual effects, a brand-new brilliant score by Joseph Trapanese, and significant moments of vulnerability. Jul 23, 2023 Full Review Serena Seghedoni Loud and Clear Reviews The show never loses the essence of the novels, which is preserved even if some major events take place that will take fans of the book completely off guard. Rated: 4/5 Jul 23, 2023 Full Review Katie Robertson Starburst This season has a great balance of action, magic, and heartbreak, and it’s impossible to find a dull moment that could not be brightened by our favourite Sun Summoner.

      Thomas L Season 2 was really a blast, a really really good suprise! Can't wait for season 3. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/24 Full Review John S Amazing show!!! Someone has to pick this up and make more seasons!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/24 Full Review Sara A Great show. Hopefully the petition to save this show is successful and it will be picked up by another network Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/24 Full Review Forged S In my original review I said the biggest issue this show suffered from was its world building, or the apparent lack thereof. Thankfully, as I started the second season it became immediately apparent the showrunners were listening. Yet, uh-oh, this time someone must've forgotten to tell the writers to craft something worth the efforts. Several logical inconsistencies, a couple of awkward, premature interactions between hero and villain and confused character motivations seemed to undermine what was otherwise a fun second season. The acting is still the true highlight of the show however, and the showrunners took clear inspiration from classic swashbuckling tales that lent itself perfectly to the newly crafted Victorian-punk / Whale-punk aesthetic. The result was something that was incredibly fun to watch despite some of its flaws. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review mia s outstanding series! btw there's a petition to save the show and the spin-off on change.org! just look up ''save shadow and bone petition'' and it'll be there! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/07/24 Full Review SkyRo P I thought that this was a great show, and it just continued to build up and get you intrigued with what was going to happen, and how things were going to work The writing was good. It wasn't amazing, but it was good enough to keep you captured and captivated into the show all the way through season one and season two. I definitely would give the show a shot. You will be completely surprised, and excited, that you definitely want a lot more moving forward. It is a fantastic experience.
