Another fantastic installment of the bone season. As always such a lyrical and compelling first paragraph. The way Samantha writes it's just so descriptive and emotive in such a beautiful and hard-hitting way. I really enjoyed the new setting and characters we met. Seeing page on her journey to power and her emotional journey, trying to use her past and experiences to improve things especially when she is not perfect. I love all the complexities to all the characters and that you never know what their true motives are. It's such an interesting world and such a tense story. I can't wait to read what's coming up next.
