Hello Mona,
I already read and binge-watched the 'Shadow and Bone'. The book was definitely amazing and the detailed world of Grishaverse is just perfection. The character's complexity and diversity is what makes the novel plausible.
As for the cinematic version, there are alterations but they did some justice. After all every adaptation is not perfect and there always be an alteration due to budget or storyline (just like the awful Mortal Instruments).
If I would I have to choose between the novel or the adaptation. I would choose the book for an in-depth understanding of the Grishaverse while the cinematic is just a savoury for all of the avid readers per se. I hope I answered your question.

Thanks....
God ... don't make me remember Mortal Instruments ...that was dumpster fire man .

But thanks really .
I appreciate it (=・ω・=)

You're welcome and if you have any questions. You can slide thru dm.

Tbh I think you should watch the show then read the books cause the books are way better and if you do other wise you'll get pretty disappointed Netflix always disappointes so read the books after so you wouldn't have a bad after taste
