Paige Mahoney drives me nuts most of the time. While the writing is absolutely beautiful and intriguing, I find it hard to connect with her. The other main Mime Order characters are lovable and interesting and you want to just hug Tom. And the author definitely gives you enough rage fuel for Vance, Nashira, and other Scion characters. It all just boils down to Paige making rash decisions and them backfiring in her face, but she’s still somehow lucky enough to have good people around to help her. Regardless, I’m loving this series and ready to move on to the next!
