The Pale Dreamer by Samantha Shannon
3.0
*3.5 stars
I, surprisingly, enjoyed this, considering I tend to find novellas/short stories quite unsatisfying.
I liked having a slice of Paige's history; it allowed me to understand her as a person, as well as her position in the Seven Dials, a lot more than The Bone Season did. It read well, which is something I usually have an issue when it comes to shorter stories. It simply felt like an extension of the novel, rather than a random story-line that the author tries to weave around the original plot. It worked well, and so I really quite liked it. I can know understand how and why Paige is in that position, which I think will be beneficial when I'm reading the next books in the series.
