Hi Cara,
As Book 4 in the Bone Season series is coming out on the 21st January. I thought it was the perfect time to read The Dawn Chorus the novella that bridges the gap between book 3 The Song Rising and books 4 The Mask Falling.
The previous books in the series;
An ebook exclusive which bridges the story between the previous and forthcoming instalments of Samantha Shannon’s international phenomenon series The Bone Season.
Paige Mahoney and Arcturus Mesarthim have arrived in the Scion Citadel of Paris. Exhausted by her efforts against Scion, Paige has no choice but to remain in hiding, away from the revolution she started, so she can heal and come to terms with her mental and physical scars.
In the confines of a safe house, Arcturus and Paige begin to reconnect after following separate paths for weeks. As they wait for contact from the mysterious Domino Programme – an espionage network operating in Scion – their present begins to mirror their past.
(Synopsis from Goodreads.com)
The Dawn Chorus splits between the past and the present as Paige recovers from The Song Rising.
Paige has been such a strong character in the previous books that it was a change seeing her at her weakness. It made her more human to see her building herself back up.
I was confused at the beginning when Paige had flashbacks as I wasn’t expecting them. But it was good having those moments as it shows how much Paige has grown and how far she has come.
The Dawn Chorus is a great way to bring the reader back into The Bone Season world.
My Rating for The Dawn Chorus is 4 out of 5.
