I enjoyed this listen a lot, I’m excited to read the next book in the series

Best voice actor I’ve ever heard in an audiobook

really enjoyed the first book, but for me personally, it's not as good as Priory of the orange tree. I was hoping for more "high Fantasy". Its a bit more sci-fi than Fantasy, but still very good.

fantastic voice acting, and a great story

Voice actors make or break an audio book and this woman is incredible. Loved the story, but she really brought it to life.

From the moment I started listening to "The Bone Season" by Samantha Shannon on Audible, I was completely engrossed. I even found myself taking longer walks with my dog just so I could keep listening. It's surprising to me that some reviews found the book boring. While it does have slower moments, they are crucial for the protagonist Paige's complex character development as she navigates a daunting new reality.

Paige's emotional journey is raw and realistic, filled with fear, confusion, and determination. This authenticity is what makes the story so compelling. Yes, her decisions can be frustrating at times, but they reflect the wide range of human emotions in life-and-death situations.

The Audible narrator is outstanding, expertly differentiating characters through subtle changes in tone and inflection. Her portrayal adds a rich layer to the storytelling, especially with the slight love interest, making his character particularly captivating.

The dystopian world Shannon creates is intricate and immersive, revealing dark secrets and a gripping plot. The combination of superb narration and detailed world-building makes this audiobook a deeply engaging listen. Despite some slow parts, the emotional depth and realistic character portrayal make it a must-listen for fans of dystopian fantasy.

I’ve been obsessed with Paige and Warden since first reading THE BONE SEASON in 2013, so listen to the newly revised 10th Anniversary edition on audiobook has been an incredible experience! Samantha Shannon has taken an incredible book and made it exemplary! Honestly, it’s been my favourite series for a decade now and I’m even more obsessed. I cannot wait for the revised versions of the next books!!!

Exemplary!

Oh, it is so hard to express how much I’ve enjoyed this story! This world and its characters. So beautifully weaved into the streets of London and the ordinary world. But this story is far from ordinary. This is a journey of a young woman finding herself, her power, her freedom. She is a marvel. As all the other characters, the author gives them life, personalities, a history. And what a wonderful opportunity it was to share that journey. The performance was phenomenal, narrated with great care and intensity. I will impatiently wait to be able to purchase the next book of this series and I already wish to never part with this marvellous world.

This book!
