This is the second book in a wonderful series, involving gang wars, puppet governments and shadowy alliances with extra dimensional creatures in a very different modern London than we know, riddled with psychics, spirits, and the occult. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love the characters, the world building, and the plot. Despite the daunting amount of new terms and concepts in this series, it's not confusing for readers to grasp or remember.
I found this book slower to get going than the first book in this series, The Bone Season, was, but once it picked up the pace it never slowed down. The book encompassed more than I expected and was a great read.
My personal favourite character, The White Binder, was found in abundance throughout the book, operating with flair and his trademark blend of sweet-menace. Paige Mahoney, the main character, showed growth, adaptability and a wide range of emotions throughout the book, bouncing back and fighting her way through the many twists, turns and challenges she faces though out.
I highly recommend this book to lovers of urban fantasy, alternate realities, the occult, and even steampunk to both teens and adults. It's a brilliantly complex, sophisticated take on the genre.

I was really expecting a pretty decent second addition to the bone season but OMG this is one of the best sequels I’ve ever read. It’s full of action, never strays the characters or their personalities, keeps this intriguing writing, and makes me just want to read more. The build throughout the novel is fantastic and just makes you never want to put it down.

The First half was a bit slow but still interesting.
Thé character we're once again great.
I am really intrigued by Danica and Nadine.
The plotwiwt at the end took me by surpriseJaxon working with Nashira
The governor and Paige are SO cute and made for eachother, love them.
However o found Paige to be less sarcastic and biting in this book hence the lower rating. I hope the Autor will bring back this aspect of her personality in the following books.
The reph are definitely interesting. I look forward to read more about the "rantien".
