This pamphlet is a stunning work of modern genius and cut-glass wit; in fact, I would go so far as to say that it is the most original and well-written piece of literature to have come out of the Republic of Scion in its entire history. It boldly sets forth one obscure writer's theory on the Seven Orders of Clairvoyance, backed up by meticulous research and framed by insightful and humorous footnotes. Beautifully presented by the Spiritus Club, it is the only pamphlet you need ever own, and I should add, with brutal honesty – however much it hurts to admit – that it is significantly better than anything I have ever written, or will write, in my literary career*.

* I was not coerced by Jaxon Hall into giving this pamphlet five stars or writing this review

This book is a NECESSARY companion to the unprecedented Bone Season series. Not only is it an incredibly interesting read in and of itself, but it provides a much richer understanding of clairvoyance and the social atmosphere of clairvoyant London. An absolute must have.

A creepy look into Jaxon’s mind

Jaxons need for control and his sense of superiority is very cleverly displayed by Shannon in this book and sets up the revelations about him very nicely
