lashette 's review for:

The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon
4.0

Kinda hate read this one, lol, maybe. Incoherent review for now. I knew I was not going to like the ending and I didn't but it was the best thing she could have done. I don't like Paige but I don't dislike her. I understand her plight and want to see how things go. But since I'm not invested that terminology kept tripping me up. Even a bit after the halfway mark when we get some explanation. And I say this as a person with prior knowledge of psychic abilities and divination which is where a third of the terminology comes from. So I kept getting thrown out of the story and being frustrated. The make out scene pissed me off because 1) no chemistry, 2) no UST or even build up to it 3) now is not the time 4) girl you don't even know him 5) his motives are suspect, and 6) "is this heaven?" is so cheesy when this book is not. So anyway, this was well written but might not be for me.
