No se si porque ya estaba a full en la historia pero este me ha gustado bastante más que el primero. Aún con su previsibilidad, y ver por donde van los tiros, tiene un ritmo bastante endiablado que lo convierte en todo un disfrute.

Quizá los momentos de infodumping me sobran un poco, pero se nota que la autora le esta cogiendo el ritmo y que poco a poco la historia va creciendo cada vez más.

Con ganas del tercero.

I bumped this 3.5 to 4 because it really, IMO, deserves more than 3. It got a bit confusing at times, but was ultimately enjoyable and I look forward to more. Apparently a LOT more as there are supposed to be 7 books.

I may be at the start of being too old to enjoy these series that will take me into my 60's. I may back up and start re-reading some past series for a while--maybe that will get me thru a few years. I can't take the waiting anymore.

Anyway--its a good book and recommended if you don't mind the wait.… (mere)

In an alternate Britain, clairvoyants are classified as 'unnaturals' and are therefore in constant danger of arrest; those who commit mime-crime, like Paige Mahoney, are committing treason by the simple act of breathing. When a journey on the Tube goes disastrously wrong, she is arrested and taken to a prison camp in Oxford, where those in charge want her to use her abilities for their own benefit.

I agree with another reviewer that the author throws the reader in at the deep end in terms of unfamiliar vocabulary and, by extension, the worldbuilding; I had to look up a few terms in the glossary after the first chapter and then re-read it, which was very worthwhile because after that I was fully immersed in the world Samantha Shannon creates. Despite some reservations, for example some well-worn YA tropes where I caught myself rolling my eyes, I found the story surprisingly gripping, and I finished the book in what counts for me as record time. I definitely want to find out how the story continues after that cliffhanger ending.

** I was reading the 10th Anniversary Edition.
