I have a suspicion that the subsequent books will be moving further and further beyond the epicenter of the story. I loved moving out of London and exploring other parts of England.What I liked (there will be spoilers from The Mime Order): Įxplosions, treasonous activity, underground living. Little does Paige know that her reign may be cut short by the introduction of Senshield, a deadly technology that spells doom for the clairvoyant community and the world as they know it. Published by Bloomsbury Publishing on March 7th 2017īuy on Amazon, Buy on Barnes & Noble, Buy from The Book Depositoryįollowing a bloody battle against foes on every side, Paige Mahoney has risen to the dangerous position of Underqueen, ruling over London's criminal population.īut, having turned her back on Jaxon Hall and with vengeful enemies still at large, the task of stabilizing the fractured underworld has never seemed so challenging.

Our main characters are also largely involved with several high-stake heists as they try to undermine Scion London, the oppressive, anti-clairvoyant, government system. We’re moving out of London and exploring other parts of England. The Mime Order broadens the scale a bit and takes place in London, examining the underground clairvoyant life while simultaneously trying to undercover the mystery of who murdered the head-hauncho of the clairvoyants. The Bone Season takes place in a very isolated colony on the outskirts of London and is largely focused on how and why clairvoyants are being “ harvested” to live in this strange place. Let me sum up the series (mild spoilers): Unfortunately this means that each novel in the series is going to be received differently every time, and in the case of The Song Rising, it means I didn’t like it quite as much as I loved the first two. Samantha Shannon, the author, has said that each book in the series will be very different, and so far this has proven to be very true. The Song Rising is the much anticipated sequel to The Bone Season and The Mime Order (click the links to see my reviews for each book) to be released March 7, 2017.
