Julia wrote: "big scary SecUnit"I think the "big scary" component of SecUnit is their armor and the mirrored helmet. The armor can be as intimidating as desired, but the SecUnit inside need not be big or scary.
Don't read this if you are triggered by pigs being ratioed ;-Phttps://www.washingtonpost.com/opinio...

If you get a chance, watch the Netflix promos for Shadow and Bone. The actors seem to be having a great time making the tv show.
In the wake of finishing the tv show, I read Six of Crows and I've just started Crooked Kingdom. I find the Crows and their story much more interesting than Shadow and Bone (the novel). The tv show did a great job of telling Alina's story though, and I'm all in for a second season.

Shadow and Bone dropped yesterday. I sat down to watch the first episode and wound up binging all eight episodes, even though I was a little confused.I read Shadow and Bone last month. It's the only Grisha novel I've read so far. Season one of the tv show is based on this novel, but also weaves in characters from Six of Crows, which is what confused me. I think I'll read this book as soon as I can.
In any event, the tv show is very entertaining.
