She can’t save everyone, because (sadly) saving everyone isn’t possible. She is by no means the perfect heroine, and I think that’s what I like best about her. Paige was an extremely interesting character to read about. The scene setting was woven throughout the story, so much so that Paige’s history and SciLo were just as vivid as Sheol. This was excellent, because the action in this book was there from the beginning. Not a lot of The Bone Season is actually set in SciLo (Scion London), and Paige’s friends and gang are mostly introduced through flashbacks. Other aspects included the orders of clairvoyants, the clairvoyant underworld, Scion London and all of its elements, and most of all: Sheol and the Rephaim. This new ‘language’ is just the first aspect of the incredible world that Shannon has created in The Bone Season. But I learned the words and their meaning pretty quickly, and by the end I’m pretty sure I could have jumped into Scion (or Sheol), and held a petty fluid conversation.
Thank the skies there was a glossary, because I was looking at that badboy every page. I was thrown into an entire different reality, with terms I had never heard of before. The first fifty pages of The Bone Season are intense. I need to tell you how much The Bone Season did not fail me. I always want to love things – especially books – but sometimes things (and books) fail me. I had heard a lot of amazing things about The Bone Season, which – as always – is a little scary. WHY did I wait so long to read this fabulous book? (Although, I am kind of glad I did because I didn’t have to wait any time at all to read the sequel.) But if Paige wants to regain her freedom she must allow herself to be nurtured in this prison where she is meant to die.
Paige is assigned to Warden, a Rephaite with mysterious motives. Attacked, drugged and kidnapped, Paige is transported to Oxford – a city kept secret for two hundred years, controlled by a powerful, otherworldly race. It is raining the day her life changes for ever. For Paige is a dreamwalker, a clairvoyant and, in the world of Scion, she commits treason simply by breathing. Her job: to scout for information by breaking into people’s minds. Nineteen-year-old Paige Mahoney is working in the criminal underworld of Scion London, based at Seven Dials, employed by a man named Jaxon Hall.
