Week 24 Reviews: The Song Rising, The Dawn Chorus


From Goodreads:
The hotly anticipated third book in the bestselling Bone Season series – a ground-breaking, dystopian fantasy of extraordinary imagination

Following a bloody battle against foes on every side, Paige Mahoney has risen to the dangerous position of Underqueen, ruling over London's criminal population.

But, having turned her back on Jaxon Hall and with vengeful enemies still at large, the task of stabilising the fractured underworld has never seemed so challenging.

Little does Paige know that her reign may be cut short by the introduction of Senshield, a deadly technology that spells doom for the clairvoyant community and the world as they know it…

An ebook exclusive which bridges the story between the previous and forthcoming instalments of Samantha Shannon's international phenomenon series The Bone Season

Paige Mahoney and Arcturus Mesarthim have arrived in the Scion Citadel of Paris. Exhausted by her efforts against Scion, Paige has no choice but to remain in hiding, away from the revolution she started, so she can heal and come to terms with her mental and physical scars.

In the confines of a safe house, Arcturus and Paige begin to reconnect after following separate paths for weeks. As they wait for contact from the mysterious Domino Programme – an espionage network operating in Scion – their present begins to mirror their past. 

My Review:
Oh  man, I had such a great time reading these books! It was so fantastic to be back in this world! I love Paige, and Arcturus, and now that Paige is the Underqueen, well, the tone of this book has shifted again, and I love that about this series! 

I really enjoyed the various places that they went in The Song Rising, seeing more of the world, and the different ways the different cities are resisting against Scion. We met some pretty interesting people, and learned some pretty interesting things! 

That ending though? That was so badass, and that she did all of that after what she went through...that was insane! And that reveal? I need to know what's going to happen next (beyond what happens in The Dawn Chorus) because things have opened up and I can't wait to see where it goes! 

I'm really glad that we got The Dawn Chorus, Paige has been through a lot, and we got to see her work through some of the issues. She's not going to be 100% yet, but she's on the path, because she was tortured, and it's going to take more to get past that. 

These were such amazing reads, and I can't wait to continue with the series!
