(No) Escape

"The Bone Season" by Samantha Shannon,  is a brilliant read. I said I thought it was two chapters, but it is two books, the main one followed by the prequel "The Pale Dreamer". Paige has been kidnapped and sent to Oxford and is effectively a prisoner. She gets a chance to go back to London and tries to escape in a fight but she ends up back in Oxford. The book is excellent.

Fighting For Strangers

 

"The Bone Season" by Samantha Shannon,  is a brilliant read. I said I thought it was two chapters, but it is two books, the main one followed by the prequel "The Pale Dreamer". The book is drawing me further and further into its universe and currently, we are at a psychic and physical battle that Paige (The Pale Dreamer) is involved in at Trafalgar Square. She is on the wrong side fighting against those that she wants to be reunited with.

Over The Hill Of Bones

"The Bone Season" by Samantha Shannon,  is a brilliant read. I said I thought it was two chapters, but it is two books, the main one followed by the prequel "The Pale Dreamer". It gets more engrossing as you go through, in a sort of dystopian Dickensian fashion. I am still wrestling with the concepts but that is part of the joy of this ride.

Bad To The Bone Season

"The Bone Season" by Samantha Shannon,  is a brilliant read. I said I thought it was two chapters, but it is two books, the main one followed by the prequel "The Pale Dreamer". I have just picked this up again after being on holiday and the further I get into it the more I know that I will be getting the whole series in my library. It is very violent but I have documented that in previous posts, but I keep reading one more page because I want to know what is going to happen.

Pale Dream Is Over

 

"The Bone Season" by Samantha Shannon,  is a brilliant read. I said I thought it was two chapters, but it is two books, the main one followed by the prequel "The Pale Dreamer". I am a hundred fifty pages into The Bone Season, and have finished The Pale Dreamer which is just eighty pages of which five are the epilogue and fifteen are a glossary, but is still a great read and a great start to the series which I will be reading.

A Pale Dreamer

 

"The Bone Season" by Samantha Shannon,  is a brilliant read. I said I thought it was two chapters, but it is two books, the main one followed by the prequel "The Pale Dreamer". I am a hundred pages into The Bone Season, but then thought I should really read the prequel first so unusually I have two bookmarks in one book to remember where I was in the main book.

The Bones Are Showing

 

"The Bone Season" by Samantha Shannon,  is a brilliant read but a big book, It is a near future dystopia with elements of Mervyn Peake's "Gormenghast", Philip Pulman's "His Dark Materials" and "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. While it is easy to read it is not an easy read and cyberpunk elements are reminding me of the work of Willam Gibson.
