The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon

"Knowledge is dangerous. Once you know something, you can't get rid of it. You have to carry it. Always."

--

(ID: Moodboard for the books “The Bone Season” by Samantha Shannon. It’s composed of 9 square icons: one with a poppy on a white background ; one with two people sitting on a roof ; one with hands coming out of a canvas to illustrate the principle of the walking dream ; one with young Mia Wasikowka to represent the main character, Paige ; one with a burning moth ; one with a tarot on the floor; one with a photo of a man with yellow-golden eyes; one with Big Ben and one with the phrase "for the dreamers". End of ID.)

Queer Fantasy panel with With TJ Klune, Tamsyn Muir, Samantha Shannon and Tasha Suri, in conversation with Mendez.

I figured a lot of TLT fandom would be interested in it, as well as general queer fantasy fans. I found it pretty interesting and fun. Particularly hearing them talk about chussy and chunt, but also in general. Worth a watch if you are a fan of any of their work.

Tamsyn is still working on Alecto and stressed about the ending (and hoping to end the series at AtN).

Edit: This recording is only available to watch till February 9th, so get on it before that if you want to watch.

Is anyone here aware of more captivating british fantasy authors who can't write cishet characters to save their life?

#I'm in need of recs #having read everything by tamsyn muir and samantha shannon #ARE THERE MORE #samantha shannon #tamsyn muir #gideon the ninth #locked tomb #tlt #the bone season #the priory of the orange tree #a day of fallen night #and yes I'm aware that tamsyn is from new zealand #her writing just feels a bit inspired by england in terms of worldbuilding and lore

Top 10 books of 2023

My favourite books of 2023, in no particular order:

A House With Good Bones - T. Kingfisher I was so disappointed when this didn’t win the goodreads choice awards for horror of the year. It’s so creepy and unsettling but in a uniquely T. Kingfisher way that somehow manages to still be funny and kind of cozy.

Wyrd Sisters - Terry Pratchett Of all the Discworld books I read this year, this one was definitely my favourite. I feel like Pratchett started to find his stride in this one, which I noticed more reading chronologically. Also it’s a spoof of Macbeth, and I’m a sucker for anything with Macbeth jokes.

The Bone Season (10th Anniversary Revised Edition) - Samantha Shannon I’ve loved the Bone Season series ever since I binged it in 2021, but the first book always fell a little flat for me. This revised edition fixed all the problems I had with the original. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a really unique fantasy/dystopia.

A Day of Fallen Night - Samantha Shannon I love Priory of the Orange Tree, so I was a little hesitant about a prequel, but ADOFN somehow managed to surpass Priory. It’s a perfect high fantasy that spans many countries and characters, and features multiple sapphic characters, as well as bisexual, asexual, and other queer folks. This was my absolute favourite book of the year.

Stone Butch Blues - Leslie Feinberg One of the most important queer novels of the last 50 years. So glad I read this.

Tell Me I'm An Artist - Chelsea Martin This book found me at just the right time. It asks what it means to be an artist, and explores the intersections between the art world and privilege, and looks at the age old question; what is art?

Gideon the Ninth - Tamsyn Muir I am so late to the Locked Tomb hype, and I can’t believe it took me this long to pick up Gideon the Ninth! The Locked Tomb is quickly becoming one of my favourite fantasy series.

Heartstopper Volume 5 - Alice Oseman I waited all year for this instalment of the Heartstopper series to come out, and I devoured it in one day. Alice Oseman's work is always beautiful and heartfelt, and Volume 5 of Heartstopper is no exception.

The Well of Ascension - Brandon Sanderson I dipped my toes into Sanderson's work for the first time this year, and I started with the Mistborn series. While the prose is not the most complex, the characters and setting are what truly drew me in. So far, The Well of Ascension is my favourite of the trilogy.

Nettle and Bone - T. Kingfisher I read six T. Kingfisher books this year, with the first one being Nettle and Bone, and it's still one of my favourites. A weird dark fairytale with goblin markets, a quest to kill a prince, grave witches, an evil puppet, and a chicken possessed by a demon. What else could you want?

Why do most of my favourite characters end up being side characters who either get ignored by the fandom or side characters that die

When the other polls will be out, they'll be in my 'fantasy polls' tag.

I forgot to mention I also have a 'sf polls' tag with difficult choices to make in the first polls.

What will the tenth anniversary of The Bone Season contain in it?

It's a complete rewrite. The course of events is essentially the same, but I've tried to revise the book with the skill I've (hopefully) accrued over the last ten years, with a particular focus on making the worldbuilding more accessible, working in more fine detail, clarifying the passage of time, and refining the relationship between Warden and Paige. It will also have a fresh cover design.

I don't yet know if it will have any bonus material. I'm very proud of the work I've done on it, and I hope it will be a stronger introduction to the series for new readers, and a new take on a familiar story for long-term fans.
