The Bone Season 10th Anniversary Edition ranked #6 in Sunday Times bestseller chart week ending 03/09/2023 Review: Don't just suspend your disbelief - send it to the pictures and sink into this fabulous, epic fantasy thriller ... Lavish, ebullient, escapist * The Times * The Bone Season, set in 2059, stems from Shannon's interest in works such as The Handmaid's Tale and A Clockwork Orange, which have backdrops of repressive regimes, and in John Donne's poetry * Sunday Times * Shannon writes so well that you stay interested, intrigued by the knife-edge motivation of character's with "six-seater lips" whose "high-collard dresses always made her think of the gallows". And although many of the paths walked by The Bone Season will already have been well travelled by fantasy readers, Shannon shows real skill in combining them so easily into an original and enjoyable escapist fictional world.... The ending certainly gripped me to the marrow * Daily Telegraph * 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 * Vogue * A Hunger Games vibe and a few Shades of Grey * Vanity Fair * Samantha Shannon's The Bone Season is my perfect cup of tea * Daily Mail *
