MeganAnn
The Bone Season: A Novel | Samantha Shannon

Pickpick

Let me start by saying I have been a fan of this series since the very beginning. However this is my first time reading the revised text in the 10th anniversary edition.

Shannon takes the unique world & story she originally created & turns it into a masterpiece with this version. This version is so much more readable. She takes the info dumping of the original & turns it into real world building expertly crafted throughout the story. ⬇️

MeganAnn I was immediately swept up in the story and felt like I was almost reading a completely new book, even though Paige and her world remain the one I know and love. I was a diehard Shannon fan before this, but she now has my undying admiration for taking a story she published at 21 and doing the work to revise into this masterpiece at 31. 1h
MeganAnn If you haven‘t read this series yet, definitely start with this revised version. It is the most unique dystopian, urban fantasy world and I have yet to read anything else quite like it. #boneseasonreread 1h
TrishB It is vastly improved! Just finished number 5 😁 went to see her talk last week. One of my fave series. 52m
MeganAnn @TrishB I‘ve been saving these revised versions to read when book 5 came out so I could continue right into the newest one. Getting my preordered copy in the mail reminded me it was time! 😆 I would LOVE to see her speak one day. ❤️ (edited) 37m

Sometimes reading books in a series you wonder if there is going to be a drop off in quality and that is DEFINITELY NOT the case here! In keeping with the suspense of the Silos, Hugh Howey has revealed enough of the background to set up the climatic conclusion, Dust, which I just might have to read at some point this year. 5 ⭐️

This was weird. It reads like a dream. Or a schizophrenic hallucination. Not that I have experience with those but whatever. You get the idea.

This is an older title that's being reissued.

A short book worthy of long praise. Finding a place (safe to some or strong to another), loss, and a great balance of Irish mythology and cryptic disaster (which was a good move because the character matters more). Told by the protagonist, the past and present overlap. The ending was great, as was the journey. Fighting to belong, while fighting loss.
