Shu Han (China) experiments on them Fjerda (Sweden/Scandinavia) hunts and burns them like witches and Kerch (the Netherlands), the trafficking capital of the world, makes a pretty penny buying and selling them as “indentures.” Only in Ravka are Grisha granted safety and status, thanks to a powerful Grisha general who began recruiting and training them to serve as the kingdom’s Second Army. In this universe, most of the world fears Grisha.
(NB: Grisha get salty when you call it magic, insisting instead on “the Small Science,” due to the practice being about particle manipulation. The series’s core magic-but-don’t-call-it-magic belongs to the Grisha, people born with the Bender-like ability to manipulate one of a handful of natural forces: Tidemakers command water, Squallers air, Heartrenders and Healers organic matter, Fabrikators elements like metal, and so on. The Grishaverse novels - of which there are seven, comprising one trilogy and two subsequent duologies - are roughly modeled not on British history, like most Western fantasy, but on 19th-century czarist Russia and its neighbors. But by the end of Shadow and Bone’s premiere - a gorgeous and surprisingly intuitive translation that actually fixes some things, even as it breaks others - the second wolf is still peckish. Admittedly, in the case of Netflix’s Shadow and Bone, based on author Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse novels, extenuating circumstances make the task of pleasing everyone all the more challenging, which might mean the first wolf could never have been truly satiated.
(It’s also how you get a four-hour grimdark superhero film recut, but I digress.) This is why the first wolf gets so nervous every time a new adaptation is announced.

TV and film execs know they need to feed these wolves equally, but they often fail, which is how you end up with mediocre and downright embarrassing franchises. The other is the series’s potential fanbase this wolf really just wants to know what the hell is going on. One wolf is the series’s existing fanbase for this wolf, the most important question will be whether the adaptation stays true, if not exactly then at least spiritually, to its source material. Inside every Hollywood fantasy adaptation, there are two wolves.
