The Bone Season
by Samantha Shannon
Note (p133): her exposition lacks creativity, subtly (the information dumps as others call them), but the exposition is murky. How do you make straightforward show vs tell convoluted? She overdoes it with some characters, then tries her hand at telling and fails. I need a map for the characters because she treats many of them as though the reader has enough info to keep them straight when we don't. Honestly, I'm not even clear about scion vs raeph and the numa issue (just read that part).
Intrigued, but get a ghostwriter or a real editor for the next one.
Pace picked up, don't ignore the glossary at back (which you won't see in kindle version unless you go to the end and look). She needs to lose the cliches. Lose her crap expository method. Get an editor.
