It's all very complicated and very interesting.īut it still brilliantly introduced an exciting new series. There's this whole hierarchy and interesting names for what people can do. Many of them are things that we think about like being able to read cards use objects to communicate with spirits but then there were other powers like influencing dreams.

Pretty much all the characters had clairvoyant powers but they were all different. The 'magical' system in this book was very cool as well. I spent so much of the book with 'huh face' wondering what was going on and what it all meant.

But they were so interesting and intriguing. But then very quickly things get more like a fantasy story as Paige is kidnapped and ends up with a group of terrifying supernatural beings. It starts off incredibly interesting and reads like a science fiction novel with the combination of supernatural powers and technology as we learn about what life is like in London and the criminal underground. She did an excellent job of combining supernatural elements from mythology and religion with futuristic elements of technology. What made this book so unique was the world that Samantha Shannon has created. And while I'm not entirely sure it lived up to Potter standards it was incredibly inventive and entertaining. I had to read it to see if it lived up to the hype. People have raved about its creativity and brilliance. It was heralded as the next Harry Potter, the next great Fantasy series. There is so much hype surrounding this book. Samantha Shannon has created a bold new reality in this riveting debut.

It also introduces an extraordinary young writer, with huge ambition and a teeming imagination.
