The Pale Dreamer (Bone Season 0.5) by Samantha Shannon




From Goodreads

A dreamer is born – the exhilarating prequel to the ground-breaking, extraordinary Bone Season series

'Truly extraordinary and thrilling' Andy Serkis


In the perilous heart of Scion London, a dangerous and valuable poltergeist is on the loose – and it must be caught before chaos erupts on the streets of the capital. Here, the clairvoyant underworld plays by its own rules, and rival gangs will stop at nothing to win such a magnificent prize.

Sixteen-year-old Paige Mahoney is working for Jaxon Hall, the most notorious mime-lord in the city. He thinks she is hiding a powerful gift, but it refuses to surface. Maybe this is the opportunity she needs to secure her position in his gang, the Seven Seals…

My thoughts

I gave this a 3.5 stars or 7/10.  I borrowed a copy of this from BorrowBox the digital lending side of my local Library.

This is the prequel to the Bone Season (Bone Season #1) it gives a little bit of background to the story that tells us about Paige Mahoney who begins working for Jaxon Hall.  Jaxon Hall is the most notorious mime lord living in London and runs a gang called the Seven Seals.  Will Paige be able to secure a place in Jaxon's gang and does she really want to be one of the gang?

This is a short novella length story that gives a small amount of background to the goings on in London and the lives of Paige and her boss Jaxon.  I am looking forward to reading the Bone Season soon.
