Shadow and Bone is rated TV-14 for language, violence, and gore which means some content is not suitable for kids under 14.
The night before the big battle, Alina and Mal finally have sex and it's Alina's first time and they're worried about not making it through the next day and I am just so sick of seeing this. This sort of thing pops up in so many fantasy novels that it just annoys me now.
"Shadow and Bone" written by Leigh Bardugo is young adult fiction and has romance in it. It first features a relationship between Alina and the Darkling but when the Darkling's real intentions are revealed it becomes clear that he is just using Alina. After that a real romance blossoms between Mal and Alina.
Ivan is a gay character from Shadow and Bone.
Fans have pointed out one example of an intense moment between Alina and Mal that is present in the book: when Mal says to her, “I'm sorry it took me so long to see you, Alina. But I see you now,” the book lets them kiss. In the series, though, they just smile at each other, and the show moves on.

Mal was oblivious to Alina's love from before book one even began. He slept with Zoya and countless others before he realised who was waiting by his back door.
The two go to find the stag before the Darkling can and grow close again before confessing their love for each other. Alina gets Mal to promise to her that he should kill her if they are about to be captured by The Darkling, as she does not wish for her powers to be used against her will.
Suhani Nothing more than a kiss or two. Crooked Kingdom is the spicier of the two, but no sexual scenes.
Bones and All is rated R by the MPAA for strong, bloody and disturbing violent content, language throughout, some sexual content and brief graphic nudity.
Now, with the help of a privateer, she must travel back to Ravka to save her country and destroy the man she once cared for. Please, read Shadow and Bone first, but the second book in The Shadow and Bone Trilogy locks into the lovers-to-enemies dynamic and must be savored.
We're talking the Darkling and Alina's two insanely steamy kisses in Episode 5.
There is one scene in Ruin and Rising that is H-O-T hot. It's barely more than a page long, but the chemistry between Alina and [REDACTED] is scorching. The rest of the book, well … there isn't much time for swoonage or (dangit) more scenes that turn it up to 11.
There is some profanity, but overall, it's minimal.
Zoya was initially infatuated with the Darkling. Upon Alina's arrival at the Little Palace, Zoya instantly hates her for becoming the Darkling's new favorite, and expresses her jealousy by cheating during a duel and injuring Alina.
3 Alina and Darkling's Kiss
Alina makes the first move to kiss the Darkling (played by Ben Barnes) in the show, but this is not exactly what happens in the books; instead, he catches her off-guard and kisses her first.
Indeed, the entire second season of Shadow and Bone should come with a warning for non-book readers. There were too many plot points, too many characters, and too many details to keep track of. Even said superfans might find themselves a bit befuddled! The changes from the books were sometimes absolutely insane.
Even after she learns the truth about the Darkling, his powers are such that he can elicit a response from her when he kisses her without her consent. Alina and Mal share several passionate kisses. The King has a habit of taking advantage of beautiful servants. Genya slept with him.
Is it spicy? The Cruel Prince isn't very spicy compared to other fantasy novels. There is some kissing, but that's mainly it for any “spice.”
Shadow and Bone season 2 starts with a bang — or to be more accurate, with a kiss. Mal and Alina finally lock lips, paying off the sexual tension the show built toward after a season of Mal tracking and simping for his best friend.
The first one up is, of course, Alina Starkov, the Sun Summoner. When the story opens in Shadow and Bone and we first meet our primary point-of-view character, Alina is 17—which positions her perfectly to fit into the mold of the standard young adult protagonist.
Jessie Mei Li as Alina Starkov and Archie Renaux as Malyen Oretsev in Shadow and Bone. In Leigh Bardugo's books, the answer is yes, they end up together.
