Rule of Three: A golden cord mysteriously forms between Paige and Warden once they save each other's lives three times each. Little is revealed about it except that they can use it to transmit images and emotions through the æther. I had to make him understand that this was real, that words spoken behind a mask were no less genuine.” Shannon credits the campus, with its well maintained landscaping and historic buildings, for providing the setting for the penal colony in her first book. Shannon graduated St. Anne’s College in 2013 but by then she was already on her way to becoming a successful author. And she's supposed to be so strong. "Oh, she's so strong! So brave! So smart! So cheeky!" And yet she ends up undressing him, and being intimate with a man who OWNS her - not because he's forcing her - but because "he is just misunderstood - everything he did was for my own good - he's really a good man - blah blah blah". Bullshit!Every moment, every breath, moved me closer to my end. There was no more time to waste. I had come so close to death again. Now I meant to live with abandon.” Lectures. LOADS of lectures. Every time the author needs us to know something. Hence it doesn't flow and for me it's the mark of a bad writing, sorry, especially in the action scenes - There's this huge danger lurking and the characters are so... calm... so teacher like. The Song Rising: Limited Edition, Signed by the Author". Book Depository . Retrieved 19 August 2020. By the time Shannon was 15 she completed her first book, the unpublished fantasy novel “Aurora.” She spent so much time in her room, writing that novel, that her mother worried she might become a recluse. But despite her mother’s concern Shannon would not stop writing. She couldn’t. That was handled beautifully and realistically through the whole book. Which I love because it's not something that can be done in a second or that wouldn't pop up in the most unexpected of times, and we do have plenty of unexpected - and other rather expected - times when we have to deal with it all. As well as the fact that Shannon took the time to process it all, or attempt to, and she did not shy away from any of it.

I hate hype. The thing about hype is that it---unfairly, at times---sets the bar up so high that there is really nowhere to go but down. This is true especially in the case of such a young author. You throw in the name Bloomsbury, and the "seven book series" bit, and the J.K. Rowling comparison surely comes. It certainly sets standards extremely high, unrealistically high, that inevitably one is disappointed with anything less. And this book, while technically acceptable, is in no way comparable to the enjoyment I had from reading the first of the Harry Potter series. In London, Paige Mahoney holds a high rank in the criminal underworld. The right hand of the ruthless White Binder, Paige is a dreamwalker, a rare and formidable kind of clairvoyant. Under Scion law, she commits treason simply by breathing. The world has known so many authors but there are very few who have stolen the spotlight wherever they go or whenever their names are mentioned. At the mention of the names of such authors, images of the riveting drama playing out in their books swiftly come to the minds o lovers and haters alike. Samantha Shannon comfortably fit into this glamorous group of timeless authors. Because of her six-figure, seven-book deal with Bloomsbury Publishing, Samantha Shannon has been compared to “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling and Suzanne Collins, author of “The Hunger Games.” Paige always seemed to be shivering. I don't know why this bothered me, but I really wanted to buy the girl sweater. I hope she finds one in book 2.

Driscoll, Molly (20 August 2013). " 'The Bone Season': the new book earning 'Harry Potter' comparisons". CS Monitor . Retrieved 21 August 2013. Unlike pretty much all of the positive review here, I paid for this book and I am not a literary critic. Just a normal person who fell in love the The Bone Season many years ago. The characters will always remain some of my favourites, and again with the shift in situation showing a different side to them all, I can only say I fell more in love. I just want to give everyone a hug and one hell of a large coffee. Lord, do they need it. Edit, June 2020: Some news – The Mask Falling will have a mini-prequel, The Dawn Chorus, out 9 July 2020. I hope it helps break up the long wait.
