This Friday, Netflix will bring Leigh Bardugo's much beloved Grishaverse books series to life withShadow and Bone. This first few episodes of this 8-episode season are, frankly, a lot to digest for those unfamiliar with the books. But once you get over that steep learning curve, you are in for a real treat.

SHADOW AND BONE JESSIE MEI LI as ALINA STARKOV and BEN BARNES as THE DARKLING / GENERAL KIRIGAN in SHADOW AND BONE Cr. DAVID APPLEBY/NETFLIX © 2021Yeah, I said tsars and tsarinas. The main location for this series is a place called Ravka, which is a fictional and fantastical version of Russia. Ravka is at war with its neighbor to the north, Fjerda—a nation based on the Nordic countries. It is also at war with its neighbor to the south: Shu Han, a stand-in for China.

There are many more types of Grisha, but you don't need to worry too much about them. The various magic users wear different colored coats with different embroideries on them to help you keep track. There are blue keftas for the elements, red for those that control the human body, and purple for those that have control of material objects. It's all very Hogwarts. As for white and black, well, you'll just have to stay tuned.Don't worry.

Last but never least is the Darkling, a.k.a. General Kirigan . He is the most powerful living Grisha, and has command over the dark. His signature move is something called the Cut, which turns the shadows he commands into a deadly slicing weapon. If the Grisha are X-Men, then Kirigan is something of a Magneto figure: he’s determined to build a world where all magic users are safe. He takes a very special interest in Alina.
