Critics Review
Don’t just suspend your disbelief – send it to the pictures and sink into this fabulous, epic fantasy thriller … Lavish, ebullient, escapist
An original and enjoyable escapist fictional world…. The ending certainly gripped me to the marrow
The Bone Season plots out a criminal underworld in a future where clairvoyancy exists; part fantasy, part dystopia, all intrigue. It’s a world of impressive scope, accompanied by Tolkienesque appendices, glossaries, maps and all
Plenty for readers to get absorbed in
Frightening and well-imagined … fascinating
A rapid-fire wonder of a book
A dark, embattled, highly wrought fantasy
Dynamic and direct … There is an exciting breadth to Shannon’s world
In this special edition of her critically acclaimed debut, Samantha Shannon performs the remarkable feat of improving upon the original beloved text. The story is impossibly richer and more insightful, assuringly accessible, more moving than ever, and glitters with exclusive content
Epic, surprising, and impeccably imagined, The Bone Season seamlessly melds a near-future dystopian world, with high fantasy stakes, and a truly unique brand of magic. Perfect for those who enjoy intricate plots and eclectic casts of nuanced characters. Ten years on from its original release, Shannon’s debut remains one of the most accomplished and original SFF novels I’ve ever read
The original version of The Bone Season was brilliant – but the new ‘Author’s Preferred Text’ edition is incredible. Samantha Shannon is a master storyteller and wordsmith, and the care she has taken in the revision shines through on every page. It is a richly rewarding reading experience.
