Hi Cara,
Today on my blog I am reviewing the fourth book in Samantha Shannon The Bone Season series. The Mask Falling is being published on 26th January 2020.
Dreamwalker 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 Program 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…

The Mask Falling makes me realise that the dangers that Paige is facing are greater than I ever thought.
There is a lot to take in when reading The Mask Falling. As there is;
- Underworld of Paris
- Spying
- Paige Recovery
- Arcturus and Paige relationship
- Information for the Mime Order.
Having all these different elements kept the plot entertaining with a great pace. The moments of Paige recovery and her relationship with Arcturus gives emotional and heartwarming moments.
I loved the action that the spying, and finding connection in the underworld brought. One of my favourite moments is when Paige is using her dream walking abilities for spying. It kept my heart pounding when you’re worrying if she will get caught or not.
There are several moments and revelation that did take me by surprise. The ending especially. I spent the last chapter going No, No, No, No, NO, NO, NO.
Overall my rating for The Mask Falling is 4.5 out of 5.
Thank you to Netgalley and Bloomsbury for gifting me an E-book copy for review.
