I started reading the Bone Season series, like many probably did, after reading The Priory of the Orange Tree (and its prequel). Thirsting for more of Shannon's work. I wasn't expecting the series to be as good, it was her debut after all, but I'm still finding it quite enjoyable. No doubt the revisions helped it a lot, I'll make sure to keep reading the author's preferred text.

I have a deep love for Paige & most of the Seven Seals. I wanted to learn the world of the Syndicate in the first book so badly. I was incredibly excited for this book to understand who Paige was before & after Oxford.
I always knew Jaxon was a mf rat. When he said (I’m paraphrasing) that he knew more of Paige’s outings than she realized, I knew he was a rat. And I’m so so so sure that he was dying for money because he couldn’t sell Voyants since Paige was “home”
I loved her growth as a person, humanitarian, vigilante, savior, & dreamwalker. This book was nothing short of action packed, intriguing and difficult to put down. This is growing to be one of my favorite series, and I hope it only gets better from here.

Corruption upon corruption upon corruption. 

I went into this book understanding Shannon’s writing style, so it didn’t bother me as much as it did in the first book. 

Let me tell you - yall want SLOW burn? A romance than burns so slowly you want to spoon our own eyes out??? This is the series for you. It’s frustrating as hell but so satisfying. 

I wasn’t sure I’d continue with the series after book one, but the politics entranced me in book two. And of course, soft-spoken Warden <3 the banter between these two is so hilarious to me. And I absolutely love his little sayings to her. Yall want yearning?? Yall want slow burn???? Shannon gives you both in this story.
