I don't know how many times I read the synopsis for this book and thought, "The Bone Season? Clairvoyants? Nope. I am so glad I ignored my first impressions and gave The Bone Season a try!
The neck-breaking murder of a young teen may disturb sensitive readers.
The level of violence is high but not overly graphic (a character's beaten, drugged, attacked by demons, and psychically assaulted, and she dishes out a similar amount of mayhem in return). The language is fairly mild (the occasional "hell," "damn," "piss," or "s-t," with a rare "f-k" in one or two heated exchanges), and there's some sexual content in two scenes where the action's more implied than described. Parents need to know that The Bone Season is an intricate fantasy - the first of a planned seven-part series - set in an alternate future where clairvoyants are able to access the spiritual plane know as the "aether" and are sent to a secret penal colony if they are caught doing so. The villains sometimes inject clairvoyants with Flux, a psychotic drug that causes pain and disorientation.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content?
