That being said, it's still very well written. Wow that ending! Only reason I didn't rate this as high as the first one is that it just took me so long to get into.

The various physical and psychic beatings are not described in graphic detail, but the final chapters, in which characters indulge in a free-for-all duel to the death, are particularly intense. The level of violence - including swordplay, gunfire, and magical assaults - is high throughout. Parents need to know that Samantha Shannon's The Mime Order, the sequel to The Bone Season, is an intricate fantasy - the second of a planned seven-part series - set in an alternate future where clairvoyants are able to access the spiritual plane know as the "aether." There's occasional strong language ("hell," "damn," "piss," "bastard," "bitch," or "s-t," with a rare "f-k" in two or three heated exchanges), and there are passionate embraces in two major scenes.

A few scenes take place in bars.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Drinking, Drugs & Smoking in your kid's entertainment guide. Jackson Hall is fond of drinking absinthe.
