I'm almost done with this book, It shouldn't be taking me this long to read a book this short. But here I am, in one of the worst reading slumps I've had in a while.

  Synopsis:

   Paige Mahoney and Arcturus Mesarthim have arrived in the Scion Citadel of Paris. Exhausted by her efforts against Scion, Paige has no choice but to remain in hiding, away from the revolution she started, so she can heal and come to terms with her mental and physical scars.
   In the confines of a safe house, Arcturus and Paige begin to reconnect after following separate paths for weeks. As they wait for contact from the mysterious Domino Programme – an espionage network operating in Scion – they remember their complicated past, and what brought them together.

An ebook exclusive which bridges the story between the previous and forthcoming instalments of Samantha Shannon's international phenomenon series The Bone Season.

Book Beginning:

There is a narrow street in Paris named Rue Gît-le-Cœur. In early 2060, it was home to a tiny bookshop, a flophouse even the rats avoided, and not a great lot else.

Friday 56:

It was a long time before I could move. I was shaking too hard.

Q: Do you think listening to an audiobook instead of reading the print version makes it more difficult to write a review?

A: I wouldn't know. I don't listen to audiobooks. I often listen to music while doing daily tasks, and I worry that I would end up tuning the narrator out while I did those daily tasks that I usually do with music. I would have to be doing nothing, which in a lot of cases defeats the purpose of audiobooks.
