The year is 2059. Paige Mahoney is working in the criminal underworld of Scion London. Her job: to scout for information by breaking into people’s minds. For Paige is a dreamwalker, a rare kind of clairvoyant — and under Scion law, she commits treason simply by breathing. It is raining the day her life changes forever. Attacked, kidnapped, and drugged, Paige is transported to Oxford — a city kept secret for two hundred years, governed by an otherworldly race called the Rephaim who seek to control clairvoyants for their own purposes. Paige is assigned to the care of Warden, a powerful Rephaite. He is her captor. Her trainer. Her natural enemy. But if she wants to regain her freedom, she will have to get close to him, to learn something of his mind and his own mysterious motives. The Bone Season introduces a compelling heroine, a young woman discovering her powers in a world where everything has been taken from her. It also introduces an extraordinary young writer with huge ambition and a teeming imagination. Samantha Shannon has created a bold new reality in this riveting debut.

Czasem ten mój sposób nie jest za dobry, bo trafi mi się książka, która ...
Maybe it's me but I've been reading/listening to underwhelming books lately and this one was one of them. Some people were born with powers (reading cards, going into dreams, calling ghosts, etc.) and they are heavily discriminated against to the point that most are put to death. Paige is a dream wa...
If I said that The Bone Season is like a roller-coaster, I would be lying. Most people would think this is a bad since roller-coasters are the most exciting rides at amusement parks. Well, most people are wrong. I am of the opinion that roller-coasters are just metal death traps with a deceiving nam...
„Jesteśmy mniejszością, której świat nie akceptuje, nawet fantazjowanie o nas jest zakazane. Wyglądamy jak inni. Czasem zachowujemy się jak inni. (…) Nie wszyscy z nas wiedzą, kim jesteśmy. Niektórzy umierają, nie mając pojęcia o swojej prawdziwej naturze. Inni wiedzą, dlatego nigdy nie pozwolim...
I've owned this book for maybe three years, I bought it with a load of other books and just never got around to it. I finally decided to pick it up because I have the hardback version and it was taking up a lot of room on my TBR shelf! As this suggests, I wasn't overly eager to begin this novel, and...
