Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine where I have the chance to spotlight an upcoming release that I’m eagerly anticipating.
By Samantha Shannon
The Bone Season #1
I stumbled across this one during a WoW a few weeks back and thought it sounded like a good read.... What do you think of the blurb??
It is the year 2059. Several major world cities are under the control of a security force called Scion. Paige Mahoney works in the criminal underworld of Scion London, part of a secret cell known as the Seven Seals. The work she does is unusual: scouting for information by breaking into others’ minds. Paige is a dreamwalker, a rare kind of clairvoyant, and in this world, the voyants commit treason simply by breathing.
But when Paige is captured and arrested, she encounters a power more sinister even than Scion. The voyant prison is a separate city—Oxford, erased from the map two centuries ago and now controlled by a powerful, otherworldly race. These creatures, the Rephaim, value the voyants highly—as soldiers in their army.
Paige is assigned to a Rephaite keeper, Warden, who will be in charge of her care and training. He is her master. Her natural enemy. But if she wants to regain her freedom, Paige will have to learn something of his mind and his own mysterious motives.
The Bone Season introduces a compelling heroine—a young woman learning to harness her powers in a world where everything has been taken from her. It also introduces an extraordinary young writer, with huge ambition and a teeming imagination. Samantha Shannon has created a bold new reality in this riveting debut.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great Wednesday!!
Ooo interesting. I hadn't heard of this one and probably would have skipped it from the cover but the blurb sounds great. I'm waiting on the next Cherise Sinclair book that's on Sally and the Feds. It's gonna be a long wait though.

I was really excited for this book too, but then I found out how long the series was and decided maybe I would just wait for the whole series to come out before being too excited.
ReplyDeleteThe premise sounds really interesting though! I hope you'll enjoy it when you get the chance to read it! :)
Happy reading!
