Oh my goodness! So many exciting things today! Where do I start?
This is one of my absolute favourite series. I’ve raved about it both on here and a lot on tumblr. I love it. It is a mix between fantasy and dystopian and it has one of the most interesting magic systems I’ve ever encountered in a book before.
The Bone Season follows the story of Paige in a futuristic (but kind of old-timey) London where being a Clairvoyant (or Voyant) is punishable by death. Paige is a Dreamwalker for an underground Voyant crime syndicate, and just by being alive she is breaking the law. And it’s really awesome.
So Samantha Shannon, the fabulous author of the amazing The Bone Season series, bless her cotton socks, has written a little teaser for book three for me to share with you all. How I have been deemed worthy for this ultimate honour is beyond me.
May I present to you a teaser for the third book in the series, written by Samantha Shannon, herself.
TEASER:
On the eve of a new decade, after two hundred years of Scion rule, a revolution is beginning. Its unlikely cradle is the clairvoyant underworld in London, and even an old ally’s betrayal cannot stop it.
But an enemy from Paige Mahoney’s past is about to return – an enemy that could quench the flame of hope for good . . .
Ooh! Revolutions, enemies and betrayal! Secrets from the past revealed…. New Year’s Eve! Maybe there will be a party? I don’t know. We’ll have to wait and see BUT I AM SO EXCITED! Personally cannot wait for this book to be released!
To celebrate the paperback release of The Mime Order, Bloomsbury will be providing one lucky winner with with a copy of both The Bone Season and The Mime Order. Australian/New Zealand residents only.

I love the books, the audio books are even better. The narrator brings everything to life and her voice is perfect. I hope she is the narrator for them all.

Omggg THESE PICTURES ARE SO BEAUTIFUL. I didn’t love The Bone Season so I’m not suuuure if I should try this one. But I kind of want to because my sister’s name is Mime. xD hehe

I very much enjoyed The Bone Season, but I do think The Mime Order is actually so much better. I absolutely loved it. There is a lot more of Scion and the crime syndicates and stuff. I love it (obviously).

I totally agree. The Mime Order is so much better than The Bone Season in my opinion (working on my review for it right now).

I just want to read book three SO BADLY right now. Finally finished The Mime Order at the end of August and OH MY GOD. Especially with that twist at the end which made my brain just explode all over my beautiful hardcover copy (mostly from: “WHY did I not see this coming?!!!”)

I think there was much brain explodage all round. It was so good.

Dude. Books in trees. Two of the best things combined making gorgeous photos!!
Also, I love these books!!! I’ve read roughly 30 books in the past month and these two are on that list, but they stand out sooo much. They’re 100% on my to-own list hahaha

I am so glad I own them. I originally read the bone season as an ebook (as they are bloomsbury and bloomsbury books are one of the smart publishers that realise that if they sell ebooks cheaply, they sell way more) and I loved it and bought the hardcover, then I was sent an eARC of The Mime Order, and I loved it so much I bought the hardcover.

This is my favourite series. Cannot wait for book 3, hardcover editions of the first two books would help to ease the pain while i am waiting.

If you are referring to the giveaway, it is for two paperback editons (as they are being provided by Bloomsbury Australia and most Australian editions don’t come in hardcover). The photos are of hardcovers as I only have the hardcover editions myself.
