The year is 2059.
Paige Mahoney is working in the criminal underground 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.
4/5 stars (really liked it)
The book started off a little confusing because I had to
learn about this new society and all the different types of clairvoyants. Once I got past that I got really invested
in the main character Paige. She gets
captured and brought to Oxford; a city that everyone thought did not
exist. This city is inhabited by a race
called the Rephaim and they capture clairvoyants to use for their own
purpose. A Reph named Warden, who is to
train her, chooses Paige. Through the
book we learn about Paige’s past and also we learn about Warden and his past as
well as how Oxford came about and an uprising that happened before. This book was very interested and I will
definitely continue with the series.
