| The Mime Order: A Novel by Samantha ShannonFantasy. Having spearheaded a daring escape from Sheol I, a prison camp for Britain's clairvoyants run by the otherworldly Rephaim, fugitive Paige Mahoney returns to London -- and her Mime Lord (boss), Jaxon Hall -- while hiding from Scion, England's authoritarian puppet government. With most of society under Scion's control, Paige's only hope of defeating the Rephaim is convincing the leaders of London's criminal syndicate to mount a resistance. But in-fighting among the various Mime Lords prompts Paige (and her few allies) to take drastic action. Due to this series' intricate plotting, detailed world-building, and rapid-fire underworld slang, newcomers to the series should start with The Bone Season. |
