THE BONE SEASON BY SAMANTHA SHANNON 

Wicked West Books I'll invite you to warden and my wedding lol

courtney Excuse me? I call dibs.

courtney 😁

Obviously, Arcturus and I are going to marry. I don't know who you all are, but I know that Arcturus and I are going to have a talk about our relationship (and confront him).

lol ladies just back down now because we have been together for a very long time

Same, I hope they continue releasing the rest in a collector's edition format so it'll match my shelves, but if not- I'm still gonna buy them!

Same-- Samantha said that they would keep making the collector's editions so hopefully nothing messes that up!

Kristen BOOKS it was really good the audiobook is on youtube

On the merit of unnaturalness

Sierra Kisses You may have already read or gotten The Bone Season, but at Books-A-Million they have a whole bunch of hardcover copies of The Bone Season for only five dollars! Which I thought was insanely awesome and snatched it up immediately!😆 Don't know if that was any help to you or not but I thought I'd let you know.

omg same! First person i've seen who is team 'Feylin' i couldnt finish acomaf :(

Kayla Fernandes don't even compare the warden to tamlin lol tamlin is the crazy ex that every father worns his daughter of

But warden is at least a few centuries old from what we know, and paige, she's 19.

Huh I don't remember noticing any info dumping. But I guess I have a higher threshold for it cause I mainly fux with epic fantasy, plus I've read The Malazan Book of the Fallen and nothing tops that. I'm glad you liked this book so much cause book 2 is gonna satisfy you soon much more! You learn a lot about the London underworld, the mime lords and mime ladies. You see a lot more magic. Paige evolves quite a bit. It's honestly just soo good. And like I said, the audio is excellent.

On chapter 2

COLE READS that series is PG-18 though 😦

Iving Zuniga I read ya no children books I'm twelve btw

I thought it was a mix between YA and NA. Wait, is that what PG-18 is?

Iving Zuniga Im twelve

Sina Wilson Have you read the throne of glass series and a court of thorns and roses series by Sarah j Maas? Those are great, along with the six of crows duology. And anything by Cassandra Clare.

I am reading Throne of Glass at the moment (I am at the end of book 3) :) Until now, I am not mind blown, but I enjoy the reading experience. I definitely want to check out ACOTAR and Six of Crows! Thank you for your recommendations! :)

+Christina Creech aw that's okay! I totes understand that it's not for everyone.

I really tried, too! But, it happens. It was disappointing because we normally have the tastes, but I'll be waiting for the next book of the month!

Eleni Amprazi I would say no. I've read a lot of what the author has had to say about the romance in the book and people's concerns (worth a read 🙂) and because Paige, yes she was captured, wasn't treated as badly as the others. Honestly, the way the clairvoyants were treated in the book in no way makes it out to be okay, at least I didn't pick up on anything like that. I thought the treatment was realistic, in someways, to what would really happen in that situation. If you have any concerns you can inbox the author on tumblr! She's super nice and she'll answer any question :)

Eleni Amprazi I read this book about a year ago and didn't get that from it. In fact, the romance was very slow-burn and not weird at all. At least to me.

Whitney Chakara Samantha Shannon herself actually adresses these issues, and I must say I agree with her. I feel like the people who think it's a very unhealthy relationship are kinda looking for faults so much they're kinda imagining most :/ I'd say check out her post on it, a quick Google search will probably get you to it

Maeve O'Conner she can justify it any way she would like but the words in the page do not lie. Also each reader will be drawn to different things and put off by different things so as I said read it if you want but with all do respect you nor the writer have the right to dismiss any readers thoughts or opinions towards this or any other work.

you said you were spoiled, and weren't planning on reading the book, and still you decide to judge its content? Well, suit yourself, but I'm not gonna try to convince you to do proper research No, I cannot dismiss anyones opinion, nor am I doing that, but that doesn't mean that I have to agree with them. I agree with the author, not because she was justifying what happened, but because I never understood those critiques. I never saw Paige falling for an abusive captor, but for the gentle heart behind his facade of power (The facade he purposely let down to gain her trust. The facade he HAD to have in order to survive). Again, if you want to, look up what Samantha said about it, but don't go spread judgement without having read the book yourself. I wish you a very great day, have fun with your life. I don't want to fight with someone I don't know, so I'm gonna leave it at this, and I wasn't too keen on answering because I want to avoid fighting :). Also, yes I know the critiques, I know where they're coming from, but I don't agree. Feel free to think of this book whatever you want, but it saddens me that you don't want to read my favourite series. Lots of love :)

I think the real problem is exactly what you said at the end your upset that I don't want to read your " favorite series" I understand that outlander is also a lot of people's favorite series, twilight is also a lot of people's favorite series and they are really protective about it however, just because YOU don't see what others see doesn't mean that what they see is wrong nor did they attack you and say that you were a horrible person because you like the book. Second, I would believe an artist might be biased towards their own work, also someone whose favorite book is not liked by someone else might also be offended and biased but just because the research I did and the research you did don't suit doesn't mean my research is invalid. You also have a nice day ma'am. This is why people at the beginning of unfavorable reviews have to make a statement that its just their opinion and you are entitled to your own as well because people can get so butt hurt and offensive. Kisses and hugs back at ya and I hope we can end this type of conversation agreeing to disagree. :)
