History Literature / TheBoneSeasonTenthAnniversarySpecialEdition

* SoftReboot: The 10th anniversary edition as a whole can be considered one; it reflects a significant change in the author's style and makes a number of changes to the 2013 original, including but not limited to:
** Paige acts far less out of blind, hotheaded pride; as such, her behaviour is much more rational. When she's not mouthing off at the Rephaim, that is.
** Liss is given more screentime, so to speak, and thus a more well-rounded characterization.
** Magdalen's night porter is given a name, Gail, and [[AscendedExtra a more sympathetic role to play]] in Paige's environment.
** Nick doesn't shoot Paige in Trafalgar Square -- he stabs her.
** We learn a little of how the harlies manage to survive without sufficient food, shelter or hygiene facilities (which in the 2013 edition would have stretched credulity): they forage, fish and do their laundry in the nearby rivers, all with scavenged or improvised equipment.
** The events of the book take place over the course of several months instead of being cramped into the space of a few weeks, which gives Paige more time to interact with the inhabitants of Sheol I and to develop her gift without giving herself permanent brain damage. They are also rearranged into a different order, with several significant conversations taking place before or after the events that catalyzed them in the original.
** A number of logical inconsistencies are explained (such as why Bone Season XX brought in so few humans when clearly hundreds of people are needed to run the city) or corrected (red-jackets now become performers only after earning the yellow tunic three times, rather than twice and both times permanently, which would have severely depleted Sheol I's reserve of high-ranking soldiers over the course of a decade).
** The VampiricDraining scene from the first book is omitted entirely, as is the red-jacket's attempted sexual assault and any reference to Scarlett Burnish being called "Weaver's whore." The latter two have been described by the author on social media as something of a symptom of her early inexperience; namely, the assumption that any fantasy world must by default comprise misogyny.
** After revisiting [[YourWorstMemory her worst memory]], Paige states (in direct contradiction of the original) that she was not in love with Nick.
** Much more attention is paid to Paige's Irish heritage, and Scion's attempted suppression thereof.

* BilingualBonus: When Paige addresses the Bicentenary crowd from the stage, she locks eyes with Cathal Bell, the man who betrayed Ireland, and says: "Go dtuitfeadh an tigh ort." This translates to, "May the House fall on you."

** After revisiting [[YourWorstMemory her worst memory]], Paige states that she was not in love with Nick, in direct contradiction of the original book.

* {{Touche}}: When Warden shows Paige the Rephaite equivalent of a handshake.
--> '''Paige''': Suitably dramatic.
--> '''Warden''': You consider me dramatic.
--> '''Paige''': You own a gramophone, [[OminousPipeOrgan play the organ]], and [[BlackCloak wear a cloak]].
--> '''Warden''': Touché.

** A number of logical inconsistencies are explained (such as why Bone Season XX brought in so few humans when clearly hundreds of people are needed to run the city) or corrected (red-jackets now become performers only after earning the yellow tunic three times, rather than twice and both times permanently, which would have severely depleted Sheol I's reserve of high-ranking soldiers).

** Paige states that she was not in love with Nick, though she'd thought she was: a direct contradiction of the original book.

This significantly revised edition of ''The Bone Season'' has been accorded its own individual page for a few reasons. First and foremost, it seems to be a do-over for the author, who has expressed many times on social media that she wishes she'd waited a few years before publishing her debut novel in order to be able to properly bring it to fruition. Having been written and published after four instalments, it might more accurately reflect her present vision for the series. Secondly, readers may find it helpful to check which tropes have been added to or cut from the 2013 edition page, as these will reflect information that the author has decided to retroactively give or withhold. Finally, it's not every day that we see a writer officially redraft their early work, which is an interesting literary experiment in and of itself.

* DesignStudentsOrgasm: The cover is far more elaborate than that of the classic edition. According to the author's Instagram page, the top semicircle portrays the dreaming spires of Oxford, most prominently the Radcliffe Camera. The left and right sides represent Paige and Warden respectively: Seven Dials and the Founders Tower, together with poppies and salvia, the sage of the diviners.

Having been written and published after four instalments, it might more accurately reflect her present vision for the series -- not quite "bonus material," but only conditionally "canon."

Finally, it's not every day that we see a writer officially redraft their early work, which is a literary experiment and a half.

** Paige's behaviour is a great deal more rational, as well: she acts less out of blind pride, especially after Warden calls her out on this tendency.
