Book: The Mask Falling
Author: Samantha Shannon
Pages: 560
This is my 102nd read for the year
The fourth installment of The Mime Order opens with Paige escaping to a hideout in Paris. The Domino Program there has plans for Paige but she has plans of her own. Arcturus is with her and they work with the Domino Program as well as searching the Paris Underground to escalate her rebellion. But Paige has no idea what is coming in terms of the rebellion and her relationship with Arcturus and that will change everything.
This was a pretty good book. By far the longest one so far, and I see a lot of places where she could have cut this back a bit. She gets a bit rambly and Paige, again, is constantly in need of medical attention. There is too much time spent on Paige healing, coughing, resting, etc. that could have been left out in my opinion. However - about 75% in the book - my heart is ripped out with a twist that I didn't really see coming after reading 4 of these books in a row. I KNOW Shannon will redeem herself with the next book, but it was a blow. This wasn't my favorite overall, but I will finish the series.
Stars: 3.5
