Summary
Bloomsbury presents The Mask Falling by Samantha Shannon, read by Alana Kerr Collins.
Paige Mahoney has eluded death again. Snatched from the jaws of captivity and consigned to a safe house in the Scion Citadel of Paris, she finds herself caught between those factions that seek Scion’s downfall and those who would kill to protect the Rephaim’s puppet empire.
The mysterious Domino Programme has plans for Paige, but she has ambitions of her own in this new citadel. With Arcturus Mesarthim - her former enemy - at her side, she embarks on an adventure that will lead her from the catacombs of Paris to the glittering hallways of Versailles. Her risks promise high reward: the Parisian underworld could yield the means to escalate her rebellion to outright war.
As Scion widens its bounds and the free world trembles in its shadow, Paige must fight her own memories after her ordeal at the hands of Scion. Meanwhile, she strives to understand her bond with Arcturus, which grows stronger by the day. But there are those who know the revolution began with them - and could end with them....
Critic reviews
"This is an ebullient, gloriously complicated fantasy [...] the characters feel grippingly real. Shannon unravels her tangled tale in galloping prose, which will carry even the reluctant readers to the very satisfying end." (Telegraph)
"Dark, embattled, highly wrought fantasy." (Observer)
"Fabulous, epic fantasy thriller." (The Times)

Just… outstanding!
This entire series is just exceptional and so clever. There are twists of plot and 1000 different layers to the story. Each book is essential to the development of the narrative and there isn’t any padding here! Excellent narration, the French is dealt with beautifully as well.
Cannot believe I have to wait until ‘24 for the next instalment of this series!

outstanding
Just a wonderful book. I wasn't aware that there will be more books in this series and was asking myself what kind of a rushed ending it would be. The only hardship now is having to wait for the next book. The narration continues in the same wonderful style.

brilliant
all I have to say is Audible, you had better get the next book out soon because I can't wait.
also if you don't like cliffhangers I'd wait until the next one had come out because the end is gut wrenching.

I don't know French
Lovely story and writing as always from Ms Shannon, but what was with all the untranslated French?? It was hard to follow. The names, all beginning with LA or Le were also difficult to keep track of. But, the story was nonetheless engaging.

Good but frustrating
Another great chapter in the Bone Season series but I was screaming at the protagonist for the last few chapters. So much that Shannon lays out for us to see that Paige just doesn't cotton on to, already really looking forward to the next book; I hope we don't have as long to wait this time!
