Most incredible voice actor

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

Engrossing Audible Experience: A Review of 'The Bone Season' Narration

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.

My Comfort Book

Listening to this audiobook is my comfort show - I have chosen listening to it over podcasts and musics, it's that good. Love the accents and voices.

Exemplary!

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!!!

Beautifully Narated

I loved the beautiful magical accent of the Narrator, who completely swept me away to Scion.

Captivating and disappointing

Samatha Shannon has put together a great story line, with complex and delightful universe building. In many ways she has done the “hard part” of fantasy novels really well - but - the main character is (and remains throughout the book) irritating. The character is maybe written for a young adult audience, but I found the character to be frustrating to follow. The book is well read and put together, but I won’t be continuing the series which is disappointing as I’ve love Shannon’s other work :)

I gave up

Ten hours in and I gave up. I felt no empathy with any of the characters, and although I tried I couldn't enjoy the story.
