On the Merits of Unnaturalness by Samantha Shannon

3.0

3 stars: nice addition to the world of The Bone Season.

The information: we got a good overview of the different types of clairvoyance and why they are sorted a certain way. Unfortunately, I already forgot which name goes with what power. I can still grasp the easy ones (pyromancer must have something to do with fire), but most of them are lost on me. There might have been a bit of an explanation on why a certain word was chosen, which would have helped remembering. And I would loved to have seen the chart that's in the other books! It would be a good piece of reference.

The readability: short paragraphs, neatly ordered together by type of clairvoyance, make this book perfectly readable.

The structure: I like how this book is structured by the way it interprets types of clairvoyance.

Best part: "Binders are DEFINITELY NOT vile augurs please DO NOT get confused about that I repeat binders are NOT vile augurs even though we they work with blood!"
