A review by thecaffeinatedlibrary
The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon

challenging tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

3.5

Paige’s journey continues in The Mime Order, where she renters the London/Scion underworld after her escape from Sheol I. Paige is readjusting to her old life, and finding she doesn’t quite fit as she once did.

The first half of this book unfortunately didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I found it really slow, and found the plot a bit clunky in parts. There were certain things that really irritated me as well, but mostly it just felt like it was missing the magic that book 1 had.

However, the pace picked up in the second half and the tension built exponentially! I couldn’t stop reading towards the end, I just needed to know what happened next.

I’m excited to see where Paige’s story goes next!!
