Re: Overall Rating and Opinion of The Bone Season
Thumbs up.
If you enjoyed reading Angelfall by Susan Ee, I think you will like The Bone Season too.
I think the relationship between the 2 main characters of both books share similar characteristic traits & the relationship dynamics between them are virtually the same.

I really enjoyed this book. A very adrenaline filled ending. I look forward to reading the next book in the series!Jo Ledamun wrote:The Bone Season keeps gathering momentum, the more and more I read of it!

I was not impressed with the love triangle aspect...if you could call it a triangle. I was really enjoying Paige as a strong independent female character who was growing and maturing and coming to accept and master her own power and I felt like the scenes with Nick and Warden undermined that strength. Would it really be so bad for someone to write a book without feeling compelled to add romantic subplot? It just didn't jive with my earlier feelings of the character.

I'm not fond of series books unless all of the books are out. I don't like to wait years for the next installment. This book was slow to get started but once it did, it left an after burn for more.I am looking forward to seeing what happens to Paige and The Warden in the next book. I would recommend this book to people that I know who enjoy this type of book. Overall I would give it 4 stars, I would have given it 5, but I don't like series books.
I agree with your comment about trilogy's & series. I often prefer one off books too.

I didn't think of the steampunk-y feel to the book until you mentioned it, but I think that that was part of the reason that I enjoyed the book as well.jhollan2 wrote:Am I the only one who always checks to see how many pages a book is before I start it? I just like to know, so I found the glossary right away and it was helpful. I really enjoyed The Bone Season. It was a fast read, I finished it in two days once I picked it up, and I loved the world Shannon has built. Kind of steam-punk meets Orwell. ...
The glossary did help a lot when I didn't feel like trying to decode what specific words meant.

Honestly, I wasn't impressed. The "clairvoyance" idea seemed a little forced, like other "magical" themes had already been done (witches and wizards, vampires, werewolves, etc) so she had to find something novel to try. It just didn't work for me. I rated it a 2/4 because despite all this, it was a quick, suspenseful, and mildly entertaining read.

So it wasn't a bad read but if you prefer well thought-through stories and believable characters I wouldn't recommend it.

It started a little slow, perhaps confusingly, for me at least with lots of zany vocabulary and descriptions that I had to keep referring to the legend in the front of the book for. Gotta say, so far, I love it!
I found the book pretty slow for the duration of the novel. I'm actually pretty upset by the fact that I didn't really enjoy it that much, which is strange because normally I find books similar in genre to be some of my favorites!
