Book 3 of The Bone Season series
The Pale Dreamer, aka Paige Mahoney, is now the Black Moth. She has defeated everyone (including her own mime-lord The White Binder) in the battle for control of the voyant syndicate of London. Her whole reason for wanting to lead the syndicate is to rally them to war against Scion and the Rephaim. But as you can guess, a crime based organization built on living in the shadows is not easy to convince. The big problem is that Scion is developing and deploying SenShield, a technology that can identify voyants (making them easy to arrest/disappear). So the prime thrust of this installment is to find and disable SenShield. Paige and her commanders travel to Manchester and then to Edinburgh, matching wits with Scion General Vance along the way. I like the new elements brought in here as we are traveling and learning about other voyant cultures, developing maturity of voyant gifts, and it seems like a whole new world for the Book 4.
4 stars (out of 4)
