The Apparat is the King’s spiritual advisor and priest who I found to come across as really creepy to watch but delivers some really important plot points. Zoya (Sujaya Dagupta) also helps in alienating Alina she is jealous of the attention Alina is now receiving as her position among the Grisha is changing and she is losing Kirigan’s favour. They appear very nice ladies who want to make Alina comfortable but really makes Alina feel more out of place and isolated. We also meet Marie (Jasmine Blackborow) a fire Grisha and Nadia (Gabrielle Brooks) a wind Grisha two very kind but over the top woman who also live at the palace.

There is potential for friendship to blossom between Genya and Alina which I’m looking forward to see. She can temporarily alter people’s appearances to create beauty by eliminating flaws like scars and injuries. We meet many new characters in this episode such as Genya (Daisy Head) a Grisha with tailoring abilities who was gifted to the Queen by Kirigan (Ben Barnes). This is down to a great script and fantastic casting, Young as Jesper is just the perfect choice. I found this scene extremely intense and Jesper is so funny to watch, it feels so random for Jesper to be just holding a goat yet being heroic but it works so well.
#SHADOW AND BONE NETFLIX EPISODE 3 FULL#
Then we think the end is upon them but Jesper full of confidence while holding onto his goat shoots all the Volcra perfectly so he and all his friends can escape. While everyone else is praying, he is just holding onto a goat and enjoying its softness and cuteness. Yet the most unexpected thing happens, Jesper begins to freak out and told to hold onto the goat which I found hilarious. The scene where Kaz, Inej, Jesper and the Conductor are all stuck on the train while Volcra attack in the fold, is intense and we wonder how on earth are these characters going to survive. I loved watching Jesper fighting off the Volcra while holding a goat. Jesper (Kit Young) is becoming my favourite character to watch in this season so far. THE CROWS FINALLY MAKE THEIR WAY ACROSS THE FOLD Little lines like this give us a lot of information which will be more important later on in the season. We learn that Kirigan is an amplifier, which means he can make other Grisha more powerful thus this is how he helped Alina show her power to the King. The Darkling disappears in this episode and doesn’t appear to give any support to Alina on her first day, apart from telling her to “be ready”. This story and the images of the stag may appear random but they have a bigger significance than they initially appear. As a result, we can assume that Alina’s dreams are foreshadowing what may happen in future episodes to help boost her power when taking on The Fold. It was discovered that by killing one of these animals and them taking a piece of the animal and making it part of the Grisha’s body will amplify their power. The Bonesmith created animals from the bones of his fingers which were filled with Grisha powers, as he knew that the Grisha would be persecuted he left the animals as gifts. In a conversation between Alina and the Apparat (Kevin Eldon), the Apparat tells the story of the first Grisha in recorded history. What will be the reason for Alina to start believing in herself and what kind of woman will she become? HOW IS THE BONESMITH IMPORTANT TO ALINA?Īlina is having recurring dreams about a stag this may be linked to the story of The Bonesmith.


However, it’s going to be interesting discovering who is Alina Starkov without Mal and the First Army together. Mal isn’t there and has been left in the dark about what has happened to his best friend. Mal has always been an important person in Alina’s life and is also the reason why Alina is holding back from this new life. All Alina wants is to be with Mal which shows how much these characters depend on one another. Throughout this episode, Alina is seen writing letters to Mal (Archie Renaux). She has a new huge responsibility that she wasn’t expecting, as a myth is now reality and now all eyes are on her waiting for her to defeat The Fold. The ending monologue is really powerful and emotional. We get a sense of real conflict Alina is dealing with in her final monologue at the end of the episode. The issue is Alina doesn’t believe that she is the Sun Summoner. There is a huge amount of pressure put onto Alina as everyone has high expectations on what she should be doing. She is now regarded as a literal saint and everyone’s saviour. Now living a new home full of others like herself, you would think that Alina would feel more at home than ever. Alina now has a huge new responsibility with the new title of Sun Summoner.
