"Everyone pictures books differently in their minds, so it can be hard to judge whether OG fans will appreciate the visuals of any given adaptation. In this case though, it's hard to imagine that anyone would be disappointed by the high production values on display here," we wrote.

"Everything from the costumes to the special effects just screams money in ways that other fantasies haven't for a while now. It seems then that Netflix held some coins back and tossed them to Shadow and Bone, as well as The Witcher.

"It's safe to say that Netflix will be throwing plenty more coins at this show for a while to come, and that's something to be celebrated, not least because of how wonderfully diverse this story is too."

Shadow and Bone is streaming on Netflix.
