This is the sort of gripping, compelling, magical novel that you don’t see every day. The Bone Season is a beautiful and chilling début from Samantha Shannon. As someone who grew up on Lord of the Rings, I have always been drawn to adult fantasy and dystopian novels. This has proven problematic as teen fantasy and dystopian tales tend to have the …
his book as something really different for me and I really enjoyed it. But it is also super hard to write a review without spoiling too much about this book.
One thing I have to say it is a very complex world and can be overwhelming and confusing in the beginning. But once you get the hang of it, the rest of the book is awesome. The book has a …
Fascinating!
I really just don’t know what to even say about this book. I really wanted to love it. The story as a whole has lots of potential and there were parts I really enjoyed.

My favorite series

I downgraded this book due to the terminology. The slang talk in this book was difficult to understand. I didn’t know what characters were talking about half the time. Then I discovered the glossary at the back of the book (sigh, my fault for not looking for one immediately), and it helped quite a bit but not completely. The characters and …
one in a million, check it out!
Get the series you won’t regret it!
This was seriously my absolute favorite read this year. It did not take me long to get into this story. Set in a future England, the citizens have been under Rephaim control for over two hundred years. In The Bone Season the humans have been classified as Clairvoyants and Amaurotics (normal). If you are a clairvoyant then you will be hunted by …
