The Bone Season: Author's Preferred Text

It was so interesting to reread this but with Shannon's edits and changes from the original. I first read the original when it published over a decade ago and fell in love with the characters and the world - I have been waiting YEARS for the Dark Mirror. 

I was apprehensive of Shannon reworking so much of what I loved, even though I could recognise that her writing had grown and strengthened since her debut. The anxiety was in vain though as the rewriting has not made this feel like a different book, but rather added needed support to the beginning of Warden and Paige's relationship, and - in my opinion - tackled Paige's trauma and her responses to it in a much more nuanced way.
