Reviews, Vol I, Issue III
Once
again gold is touched through the pen of Samantha Shannon. Flamboyant and
graceful imagination is portrayed by her second sequel this time more vibrantly
and though it is the second script of The Bone Season still it has a rich
freshness and undiluted taste for the readers, a true treat of science fiction
blended exuberantly with the flavour of fantasy, adventure, blood and glimpses
of future era. She has engraved a whole new genre, if not exaggerated as those
characters like Paige Mahony and many thrilling ones have that uncanny ability
to transport the readers to a new world of suspense and dark secrets which will
compel you to want more .
The book posseses a magnetic charm which can bind the readers
for a ride very adventurous and never ending excitement. Shannon is successful
in bringing so many facets of a brilliant fantasy novel under one title .The
readers who loved books like The Da Vinci Code, The ever charming Harry Potter
or the books by Sherlock Homes are bound to appreciate the beauty of this
novel. If I say in words of a true fan, then the void left by Harry Potter can
be filled by Paige Mahony.
In
this plot, Paige Mahony has escaped the brutal prison camp. But, now her
problems have just started to multiply along with her many of the survivors are
missing and Paige is the most wanted person in London now. Scion is now much
vigilant and is keeping an eye on the dream-walker. As it advances, the mime
lords and mime queens are invited to a rare meeting of the Unnatural Assembly,
there vivid and picturesque showcasing of future generation which at one moment
seems to be real. Jaxon Hall and his seven seals are all set to take the centre
stage. But as it should be there are bitter fault lines throughout the
clairvoyant community and the fate of underworld is yet to be decided. Yes it
is a bit hazy and complex in parts but that is only a trace and be relaxed it
has not broken the rythm. The flawless aroma of dark secrets everywhere and
still there are hints to break the shackles of suspense and mystery which fades
away as the width of the pages shift to the left.
One
prominent thing which Shannon has successfully done is to make you believe that
all the tunnels, drones, and the surroundings really exists in the same manner
as that of R.K. Narayan’s Malgudi Days though two of them are completely
different masterpieces but the intense flavour of making you believe what you
read is somehow alike which ultimately makes it an excellent work. It seems so
real in some parts that you can actually see yourself in the plot. Through this
work she has unfurled her exceptional ability of storytelling which can
mesmerize people of all ages and of all times. As you read through the lines
you want to read it at once, that’s the beauty it has. There are many reasons
to pick this novel, one being to revive the nostalgia of fantasy thrillers and
explore more this time. Through this you will be on a journey which I can also
assure that you can experience which takes you to a new world which suddenly
seems real. A book which is so magnificient that it seems why so late but
history repeats itself and I guess it is the next phenomena and is bound to hit
the bestsellers gallery. Breaking the monotony and about to create history this
time it is none other than this recipe presented by Samantha Shannon in an
extraordinary manner. It is really a thing not to be missed and is really a
cherishable thing of our times, which is guaranteed to be tasted again and
again every time with a new flavour and imagination.
