What to expect

Bloomsbury presents The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon, read by Alana Kerr Collins.

A stunning new edition of the second novel in the bestselling Bone Season series with gorgeous new cover artwork and updated text, by the bestselling author of The Priory of the Orange Tree.

Paige Mahoney has escaped the secret prison city of Oxford. Now a fugitive in London, she nurtures a new taste for revolution.

Oxford may be behind her, but the Republic of Scion is undefeated. As Scion turns its all-seeing eye on Paige, she is forced to return to Jaxon Hall, her charismatic and brutal employer, to keep her foothold in the underworld.

But Paige will bow to only one now, and not even Jaxon will stop her exposing the corruption in the syndicate. As she plots to with the fabled Rose Crown, both sides of an ancient conflict seek her talents for themselves.

Critics Review

There is no question over whether or not you should pick up The Mime Order. It is a MUST.
Guardian
The novels are hugely imaginative
Independent on Sunday
A trailblazer … The way Shannon’s characters shift, backstab and fall are as fascinating as the twists and turns of the plot
Independent
The Mime Order … is, if anything, more accomplished and imaginative than The Bone Season… I’m left wondering where Paige and Shannon will go next … Wherever she does go, I will follow
Scotland on Sunday
Shannon throws you into this rich, grimy near-future world
The Times
A riveting page-turner
Mail on Sunday
Gripping, edge-of-the-seat plotting ... Fabulous
Goes hell-for-leather, all poltergeists and grisly murders and pitched battles in the catacombs of Camden
Sunday Times
