4,5 stars !!! This was such a ride. Every chapter kept me entertained and the world building is so well done. I can definitely see why the authors is planning a 7 book series. So much potential !
Can’t wait to read book 2 !

I really liked another series from this author, but unfortunately this book missed the mark. Read more like a textbook than a novel.

The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon (The Bone Season 1) is set in a world of Scion London, and there are those with psychic powers (voyants), and those who don't.  It's 2059, and Paige is a voyant with a rare power - she's a Dream Walker.  She works in the criminal underworld for a man named Jaxom.

She gets caught one day, and taken to the city of Oxford, except this city isn't meant to have existed for the last two hundred years!  But everyone knows that the Scion kill voyants when they find them, so what can be happening?

I enjoyed the story, the setting, and the twists! I didn't know anything about this book going in, and so I want to leave as many surprises for you as possible!  

This is a fantasy book, with different psychic powers and other twists.  I'm going to be reading more in the series, so you can watch out for those reviews!

 The Bone Season  was published on 20th August 2013, and is available from  Amazon ,  Waterstones  and  Bookshop.org .
