Rezensionen / Stimmen
Don't just suspend your disbelief - send it to the pictures and sink into this fabulous, epic fantasy thriller ... Lavish, ebullient, escapist. * <i> The Times * An original and enjoyable escapist fictional world... The ending certainly gripped me to the marrow. * Daily Telegraph * A rapid-fire wonder of a book. * Marie Claire * 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 * In this special edition of her critically acclaimed debut, Samantha Shannon performs the remarkable feat of improving upon the original beloved text. The story is impossibly richer and more insightful, assuringly accessible, more moving than ever, and glitters with exclusive content. -- London Shah, award-winning author of the Light the Abyss series Epic, surprising, and impeccably imagined, The Bone Season seamlessly melds a near-future dystopian world, with high fantasy stakes, and a truly unique brand of magic. Perfect for those who enjoy intricate plots and eclectic casts of nuanced characters. Ten years on from its original release, Shannon's debut remains one of the most accomplished and original SFF novels I've ever read. -- Kate Dylan, author of Mindwalker A dark, embattled, highly wrought fantasy ... There is no doubt that Samantha is the real thing. * Observer * Frightening and well-imagined ... fascinating. * Washington Post * Plenty for readers to get absorbed in. * Wall Street Journal. * Dynamic and direct ... There is an exciting breadth to Shannon's world. * Evening Standard * The original version of The Bone Season was brilliant - but the new 'Author's Preferred Text' edition is incredible. Samantha Shannon is a master storyteller and wordsmith, and the care she has taken in the revision shines through on every page. It is a richly rewarding reading experience. -- Katherine Webber, bestselling author of Twin Crowns Inventive, intriguing, and endlessly surprising - no one enthralls me like Samantha Shannon -- R. F. Kuang, Sunday Times bestselling author of the Poppy War trilogy
