Synopsis: The year is 2059. 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. Her job: to scout for information by breaking into people’s minds. For Paige is a dreamwalker, a clairvoyant and, in the world of Scion, she commits treason simply by breathing.

It is raining the day her life changes for ever. Attacked, drugged and kidnapped, Paige is transported to Oxford – a city kept secret for two hundred years, controlled by a powerful, otherworldly race. Paige is assigned to Warden, a Rephaite with mysterious motives. He is her master. Her trainer. Her natural enemy. But if Paige wants to regain her freedom she must allow herself to be nurtured in this prison where she is meant to die.

Okay so I read this with a huge group of people who kinda all loved this book and gushed about the characters and stuff… but I just didn’t feel any connection with this book. I thought the book was really good in a lot of areas. The characters were interesting and complex. The writing was fantastic. And the world building was amazing.

However, I feel like the plot was really really out there. It’s already a strange book and it somewhat makes sense, but as I went on through the book I just kept getting more and more confused. The pacing was also really too slow for me.

Verdict: If you have the time and patience for this book I think it would be worth it.
