Samantha Shannon you truly are amazing

what an epic continuation of the series, so much character exploration and paige’s growth is one of my favourite things

worlds and people collide, and i cannot wait for the mess and angst that will follow

also that ending. gagged. 

fuck u jaxon 🥰🥰

4.5 stars

I was going to give this 4 stars but that ending definitely earned another half star.
The first half of this book was very slow for me and I was afraid I wasn't going to enjoy this as much as I did The Bone Season. Fortunately the second half picked up and I was once again hooked in the world and these characters.
Paige and Warden, man. Why do other ships even exist when we have them? They are perfection, in my eyes. Also, I shortly want to mention that I LOVE Samantha Shannon's kiss scenes. I really enjoyed the one in The Bone Season and the one in The Mime Order - OH THE FEELS. I loved it so so much.
Now - like many others - I will impatiently wait for The Song Rising to come out.

This book absolutely lives up to the hype of the first in the series! It’s a totally different vibe in The Mime Order - this somehow feels more dangerous, possibly due to its setting in London. I’m dreaming of going on a trip just to visit all the Bone Season locations! I fell more in love with my favorite characters, and my heart opened up to let even more in. Paige is my favorite protagonist of all time, and Jaxon is the ultimate villain! This series just keeps getting better and better with every layer that is pulled away from the mystery that is Scion. I am ready to go to war for Paige Mahoney!
