The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon
4.0

Kind of a different paranormal book than I typically read, this one deals with people who have different forms of ESP and aliens (or beings from a different dimension) but I enjoyed it and look forward to reading the next ones in this new series. Terminology took a bit of getting used to, and figuring out what some British names for things like torch, which is flashlight in the U.S. It is a depressing world this author has created where a group of people are suppressed or imprisoned by pretty much everyone making you want to scream at the injustice of it all. I like Paige, the person who's head we are in, and I really grew to like Warden. I hope we get to see much more of him in future books. Frustrating where the book left off, would have like to read more about how Paige deals with Jax and returning to London, but I understand that it is a good stopping point and just hope the next book comes along swiftly.
