PRAISE FOR THE MIME ORDER: "A riveting page-turner ... She creates a convincing world defined by its own invented logic Mail on Sunday It goes hell-for-leather, all poltergeists and grisly murders and pitched battles in the catacombs of Camden Sunday Times Language as rich as a figgy pudding, the best terminology in the genre and gripping, edge-of-the-seat plotting to boot Daily Mail Thrusting readers back into the world of Paige and a more detailed journey through future London. The novels are hugely imaginative ... Part Hunger Games dystopia, part urban fantasy Independent on Sunday A triumphant blend of Orwellian dystopia and China Mieville nonconformity ... Shannon's ability to take classic tropes, such as forbidden love and dystopian societies, and give them a well-knuckled twist is to be admired ... Set to become a trailblazer for young talent Independent The Mime Order is the second book, and is, if anything, more accomplished and imaginative than The Bone Season. I am clearly not the target audience, but, crikey, I'll be second in the queue for Book III ...With a satisfyingly "a-ha" denouement, and some of the best fight scenes I've read in donkey's years, I'm left wondering where Paige and Shannon will go next ... Wherever she does go, I will follow Scotland on Sunday Shannon has continued to build on this imagined world with intricacy, and Paige's voice comes through to deliver a suspenseful story Washington Post
