This would have been a useful reference guide at the start of the series when all the different types of voyants were a bit confusing! I do like in-world books in general and Jaxon's snobbishness towards the different orders comes through in the tone. Not worth reading if you're not going to read the series though.

This was super interesting to read after reading the Bone Season books. It solidifies my hatred of Jax even more, but it was good to put some descriptions to classes that aren’t explained thoroughly in the main books.

A great overview of all the orders of clairvoyance. Helped me with clarifying some of the gifts mentioned in the series, this is a great compilation of them all in one place.

This book is a NECESSARY companion to the unprecedented Bone Season series. Not only is it an incredibly interesting read in and of itself, but it provides a much richer understanding of clairvoyance and the social atmosphere of clairvoyant London. An absolute must have.

This was a really great addition to the series. It's basically Jackson's illegally published pamphlet that is mentioned trough out the main books, and as it is written from Jackson's Pov, it was written in typical Jackson style. If you've read the 3 main books you will know what I mean lol. I literally snort when Jackson described his powers as the greatest of all. Because of course he would do this.
