2018 was the year I vowed to reread THE BONE SEASON by Samantha Shannon after three years since I read it for the first time so I could finally move onto the next two books in the series. And I did it! I'm pleased to report that TBS wrecked me just as much as it did three years ago and I'm still Bone Season Trash™ IF NOT MORE. So I thought I'd post some of my thoughts that I wrote down while I was reading. Apologies if they don't make sense but I did say this book wrecked me!
T H O U G H T S & R A M B L E S W H I L E R E A D I N G :
*~* Really
appreciate this time around that Paige is nineteen! Not 16 or 17 or in
her twenties but 19!!! My age!! I didn’t realize how much I’ve been
missing characters the same age as me until this book reminded me.
*~* I don’t think I love it as much as I did when I first read it. It's still incredible but not as incredible if that makes sense. But maybe because I remembered some of the things that happened as I was reading?
*~* It’s also quite slow and the focus of the novel is really to set the
story up for the rest of the series and especially the second book.
While I loved how immersive it was, you have to know before diving in
that it doesn’t get really fast-paced until nearer the end.
*~* DAMN that ending was something but why so rushed??? It was like it was
trying to make up for how slow the rest of the book lmao.
*~* Ohhhh that CLIFFHANGER. I am so thankful that I've got the next two books literally 10cm away from me so I can dive into the next book straight away. >.>
*~* YAY for TBS's thorough world building, exceptional plot and the fact
that its made me invested and fall in love with a dystopian book!! I
would call it dystopian fantasy with a touch of scifi but Wikipedia
calls it a ‘supernatural dystopian’ SO I DON'T KNOW all I know is I was
IMPRESSED and I have never been invested or impressed by any book that’s
dystopian anything in it!
