I was thrown into an entire different reality, with terms I had never heard of before. The first fifty pages of The Bone Season are intense. I need to tell you how much The Bone Season did not fail me.

I always want to love things – especially books – but sometimes things (and books) fail me. I had heard a lot of amazing things about The Bone Season, which – as always – is a little scary. WHY did I wait so long to read this fabulous book? (Although, I am kind of glad I did because I didn’t have to wait any time at all to read the sequel.)

But if Paige wants to regain her freedom she must allow herself to be nurtured in this prison where she is meant to die. Paige is assigned to Warden, a Rephaite with mysterious motives. Attacked, drugged and kidnapped, Paige is transported to Oxford – a city kept secret for two hundred years, controlled by a powerful, otherworldly race. It is raining the day her life changes for ever. For Paige is a dreamwalker, a clairvoyant and, in the world of Scion, she commits treason simply by breathing. Her job: to scout for information by breaking into people’s minds. Nineteen-year-old Paige Mahoney is working in the criminal underworld of Scion London, based at Seven Dials, employed by a man named Jaxon Hall.

Whenever possible I hope to have the author, or another prominent voice on the subject, join the conversation. I will post some questions/quotes to get things started, but I would love for this to grow into an open discussion with and between you all. The plan is to select and read a book every month, then discuss the work during the month’s last week (to give everyone time to read it!). There is so much amazing stuff out there! Funny, inspiring, sad, thought-provoking, empowering! I’ve been discovering so much that, at times, I’ve felt like my head was about to explode… I decided to start a Feminist book club, as I want to share what I’m learning and hear your thoughts too.
