Book: The Mime Order

 Book: The Mime Order

Pages: 560

This is my 96th read for the year

This is the 2nd book in the Bone Season series.  Paige has escaped the prison of Oxford and is back with Jaxon - her mime lord.  She is not sure what has happened to Warden and not sure if she will ever see him again.  Paige now sees the syndicate through new eyes and is determined to bring down the corruption.  She thinks the only way forward is to become the Underqueen and make changes that are needed for clairvoyants.

This was another great installment from Shannon.  I did get a newer version of this book and Shannon does say in the beginning that she has cleaned it up as she has become a more seasoned author.  After reading the first one (Which I still thought was amazing), I can tell the difference.  She is a great writer.  Paige is a very likable character - strong and determined.  Like all of her other books, there are tons of characters so you need to be on your game.  However she is an expert world builder, and to me that makes a big difference. I docked it a half a star because the "battle" near the end of the book drew out a bit too long for me - too much detail.   I am anxious to see where the series is going.

Stars: 4.5
