Book 2 of The Bone Season series
The Pale Dreamer has been rescued from Sheol, and returned to the Seven Dials in London. But she is ready to start a revolution, to fight back against the Rephaim and their control of Scion and subjugation of clairvoyants. But she is basically alone in this. "Hey, you're back, you're safe now, don't rock the boat". But Nashira (blood-heir to the Rephaim throne) has different ideas as she hunts the Dreamer and sets in motion a coming out party. Meanwhile, Paige has her own coming out story to tell and has a love of London and life as her foundation. I love how this story is clearly about the Mime world where the previous was clearly about the Rephaim world. In many ways, the plot elements stand alone which is why, IMO, it is such a strong story.
4 stars (out of 4)
