THE BONE SEASON: 10 Questions

Our group discussion will begin on Wednesday, September 25th.

Here are a few things to ponder until then...


  1. Did this book consume you immediately or did it take you a few chapters to warm up to it?
  2. Some are calling Samantha Shannon the next J. K. Rowling and referring to this seven-book series as the next Hunger Games. Do you agree or disagree?
  3. Did you find the Victorian slang hard to follow and understand?
  4. The Raphaim speak Glossolalia, which is otherwise known as the language of angels. Do you think this is a clue to how the series will develop?
  5. Was there a specific passage that you thought to be personally insightful or profound?
  6. Roughly translated, the Hebrew word Sheol means hell. Did you catch any other religious references?
  7. What is the significance of the field of red poppies in Paige's dreamscape?
  8. The Imaginarium has already secured the film rights. What are your opinions on casting?
  9. If you could become one of the characters in this book, who would it be and why?
  10. If you could ask Samantha Shannon only one question, what would it be?
