Paige is part of a group and helps a man named Jaxon Hall. To rephrase the synopsis: we are in future London and Scions (sort of like the leaders who have special police to track down the clairvoyants) are in power. Anywho, the world-building and magic system was super cool. Ever since the Percy Jackson books have come to an end (specifically an end with the Trials of Apollo), I have been avoiding long series’ like the plague because I didn’t want to grow to love another series just to see it end (although I could just re-read it, but then it’s not the same. Shannon has created an incredibly interesting world and honestly, I really want more and I will obviously be continuing the series. I have read The Priory of the Orange Tree and my main genre is fantasy and science-fiction so, I tend to be used to the whole world-building info. 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 forever. 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. In addition, there is a chart at the beginning and a glossary at the end! Now onto my actual review! There is a lot of world-building terms that go around and it might get slightly confusing but it gets better and makes more sense later so, just bear with it. If I have to be honest, I have no idea how to start this review BUT I will say one thing: this book is the first in a 7-book fantasy series.
