Epic, riveting, emotional and devastating. <i>The Dark Mirror </i>is a remarkable continuation to the incredible series, masterfully crafted, deeply romantic and heart-wrenching. You will lose yourself in this magnificent world, and hold these characters close to your heart.
- Sue Lynn Tan, the Sunday Times bestselling author of DAUGHTER OF THE MOON GODDESS,
Shannon expands the world of her Bone Season series in this pedal-to-the-metal fifth instalment . . . The stakes are high, the pace is rapid, and Shannon’s gift for evocative prose makes the shadowy streets of Venice come alive . . . Series fans will be thrilled
Publishers Weekly
A masterclass in page-turning prose. The Bone Season has become a must-read staple in the fantasy genre. Samantha Shannon’s exceptional worldbuilding, riveting plot, and endearing characters prove to be a successful combination—and one only she could have pulled off quite so skilfully.
- Saara El-Arifi, number one Sunday Times bestselling author of Faebound,
Impressively multi-layered . . . As the series’ scope and the implications of the war against Scion expand, Shannon’s narrative style reads more action-thriller than fantasy. Paige’s powers as a dreamwalker are rarely used here, but when clairvoyance is at play, the story shines . . . this series still has plenty of fight left
