But what would happen if “darkness was a place? What if the monsters you imagined were real and you had to fight them in their own territory.” Netflix asked one more question: What if we took that world of darkness and put it on screen? Luckily for her, all she had to do to escape that fear was to flick on a light switch. “I was at a friend's house and I was reading a book … I fell asleep while I was reading it and when I woke up the house was completely dark like you can’t see your hand in front of your face, and I was sure there was a murderer in the house,” she said. Ironically, the Grishaverse didn’t grow out of what Leigh Bardugo could see, but what she could not. Shadow and Bone director talks that unexpected face-off and David's Easter egg Escaping into genre gives fantasy fans “an edge on everybody else” and an uncanny ability to “see possibilities where no one else sees it.” Viewing the world through a fantastical lens means “the call box is always bigger on the inside, that's how we live!” “Writing fantasy is about politics but it can also simply be about getting to live in a world where being brave and strong and clever and capable is more important than, say, being cute and popular,” she said. At a panel Saturday at New York Comic Con attended by SYFY WIRE, Leigh Bardugo told fans about the “game of trust” that comes with adapting fantasy stories for the screen and the inspiration behind the Grishaverse.
Thankfully for fans of the show’s soaring first season, she chose chaos and created an entirely new “alternate timeline” that combined the events of her books into one entirely new story. When Netflix approached author Leigh Bardugo with the idea to turn her fantasy books into a streaming series, she was met with two paths: “Make Shadow and Bone and hope that you get the runway to make Six of Crows or you can crash these two vehicles into each other and see what chaos ensues.”
