I didn't really like this one as much as the other entries in the series when I first read the original text, but she really elevated her writing and pulled everything together in a much more cohesive way in this new edited version.
Really I just love this series in general - the worldbuilding is wonderful, the characters are fantastic, and this book in particular has a really twisty murder mystery that is a ton of fun to read.
My only main complaint about this book is that Paige and Arcturus are separated for a great chunk of it (my shipper heart just wants them to be together 24/7).

Samantha Shannon can build a world like none other. Just as with roots of chaos, the bone season world is crafted in such a way that you can picture everyone and everything. She stands to be one of my favorite authors.
The Mime order (authors preferred text) was a compulsory read from start to finish. There is no labor to reading this series. You are left with time to bond and understand the characters. You never leave a section confused. This series nails qualifications for something that is slated for 7+ books. Incredibly well paced and leaving you ready to enter in to book 3 without a pause.

I'm speechless. In shock, even. I have always loved Samantha Shannon's writing and continue to do so... she is amazing.
