Book: The Song Rising
Author: Samantha Shannon
Pages: 384
This is my 101st read for the year
This is the third installment in the Bone Season series. Paige is now the Underqueen and rules over all the clairvoyants in London. Paige has a lot of people after her - including Nashira the Ranthem who will stop at nothing until she has Paige's powers. Paige's followers have made a startling discovery. Scion has made something called Sensheild which is deadly technology for clairvoyants. Paige now has to make some tough decisions if she is going to save her followers.
This was a pretty good book. Shannon is a great world builder but this one did have a bit of a slow start. Paige has changed a bit as a character in this book and seems to be fumbling as a leader. Although - it has to be remembered that Paige is 19 years old, so maybe Shannon did this on purpose? She does seem a little more sickly in this book than others - lots of pages spent on her having headaches and being bone tired. Got a bit much after awhile. The ending did improve the book and I am anxious to see where it is heading next.
Stars: 3.5
