In the London of the near future, those with psychic powers are either controlled by the government, or outlawed. Paige Mahoney is of the latter variety, and works for a gang run by Jaxon Hall... until she's caught. At that point, she's shipped off to an internment camp for clairvoyants, because, yo...
When it was released, The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon, was marketed as being the next big thing; the new Harry Potter, despite being nothing like Harry Potter. The second in the series is freshly available at a bookshop near yourselves, so it seemed like a good time to read it. It was... okay. ...
I bought this book when it first came out. Not sure why I never read it before. However, I had to rebuy it so I could read it on my kindle. And I'm glad I did! I have never used the dictionary so much before! Who knew there were different types of clairvoyants? I know I didn't, but I don't read a lo...

You follow along as the character's hope is crushed, making you wonder how any humans will ever get out of the situation alive. The tension ramps up quickly and I f...
I had this really great intro planned, but unfortunately, I didn't write down when I thought of it; so it's just completely buried in the crevices of my mind - a truly scary thought. So that's been lost. But I have a new one... kind of. I guess I'll start out by saying that I did enjoy The Bone Se...
I picked up the Bone Season not knowing it was a young adult novel, so this soon raised concern. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The novel is not particularly original; the story screams of The Saga of Exiles. A strange other race that uses humans as slaves and have otherworldly powers. They ar...
Rating 4.5 starsTook me several days to wrangle my head around a rating for this one. I think a lot of that had to do with the first 100 pages. As others have pointed out there is an info dump in this book that will leave you with a massive headache if you dwell on trying to understand what the he...
