Shadow And Bone’s Season 2 Map Transitions Are A Lifesaver – Looper

One thing viewers need to know about “Shadow and Bone” is that the Grishaverse is modeled on the massive topography of Imperial Russia before 1917. This helps to explain the multiple cultures and unique geographical features of each nation in the series. For fans, the transitions in Season 2 that show the location of the scene on the wider map are proving to be even more helpful than in the novels.

Viewer @thenightwindovv tweeted how the location pinging on-screen looks great and removes the need to manually consult Grishaverse maps in the novels or other ways. This is especially useful for fans like @xomarenahxo, who praised the utility of the map transitions and added, “ngl i’m very lost when it comes to the geography of this world and i’ve read the books.”

On the program’s subreddit page discussing the Season 2 premiere, u/F00dbAby shared, “The introduction of the map is the best idea for season 2.” For some viewers, these map transitions caught them off-guard. Redditor u/viper459 commented, “i literally was googling the location where they were, i unpause, and one whole second later the map shows up lmao.” 

“Shadow and Blood” Season 2 is currently available to stream on Netflix.
