GIVEAWAY: The Bone Season

Next month sees the release of The Song Rising, the third book in The Bone Season saga, from Samantha Shannon.

This gloriously-written dystopia, set in the year 2059, follows Paige Mahoney, a young clairvoyant living in Scion London, a city where clairvoyance is illegal on pain of death. Paige spends her days working for the underground clairvoyant syndicate, under the watchful eyes of Mime-Lord, Jaxon Hall, a sardonic and ruthless gang leader, who you will come to love and hate in equal measure.

But when Paige’s clairvoyance is uncovered by Scion, her world will be flipped upside down, and everything she thought she knew will be tested.

I know, I know, I talk about this book series a lot, but there’s a reason. This seven-part series is honestly one of the best I’ve ever read, and the third book isn’t even out yet! It’s a truly imaginative story, incomparable to anything else out there, and, in all honestly, before I’d even finished reading the first book, I’d completely and utterly fallen for it.

If you like brilliant world-building, wonderfully complex characters, and a story that has so many twists and turns you just can’t predict where it’s headed, then you need to check this one out.

To celebrate the release of The Song Rising, the wonderful folks over at Bloomsbury have very kindly given me two copies of the flashy new edition of The Bone Season to giveaway!

To be in with a chance of winning, all you have to do is follow me on Twitter and retweet the following tweet by 23:59pm on February 22nd!

Good Luck!

(Unfortunately this giveaway is for UK residents only, but you internationals might want to keep an eye out on this blog over the next few weeks…just sayin’!)

The Pale Dreamer

You may or may not have realised by now but I’m a teensy bit obsessed with Samantha Shannon’s The Bone Season. Everything about it gives me all the feels!

excitedfeels

I could sit here and list many many reasons why, the world-building, the unpredictability, the sudden “Janice-from-Friends-OH MY GAWD” moments (hello, end of The Mime order, I’m talking about you!!)…but right there at the top of the list is PAIGE…can kill you with her mind…MAHONEY. The badass, faced a poltergeist as a child, Pale Dreamer! I LOVE HER.

Talking of The Pale Dreamer, in THREE WEEKS(!!!) a prequel novella of the same name is being released in e-book form, all about how Paige become Jaxon’s Mollisher.

SNEAK PEAK at The Song Rising!!

I am so excited to share what I have to share with you today. In fact, in the words of the ever eloquent Chandler Bing:

excited

If you’ve been following me on social media for a while you may be aware of how ever so slightly, I will sell my unborn children for a copy of the next book, obsessed I am with Samantha Shannon’s YA fantasy series, The Bone Season.

The (eventual) seven-part series, which follows Paige Mahoney, a clairvoyant living in a world where clairvoyants are both real and abhorred, is quite possibly my favourite book series of all time. It is, in my opinion, the best dystopia out there, and is jam-packed with fascinating and dynamic characters, wonderful world-building, and edge-of-you-seat storytelling.

And, seeing as it was the first book I ever reviewed on this blog, I am so excited today, as a Bone Season Advocate(!!!), to bring you a sneak peak at the third book in the series, gloriously titled The Song Rising.

So, without further ado, sit back, relax, calm down enough so that you can actually read your screen,

and ENJOY!
