Wow, I am sorry for whoever read this as the books were first being published because that was one wicked ending. That's like, worse than GOLDEN SON. 

This was a fun read for me, having re-read THE BONE SEASON this year after not really loving it the first time I read it and then really getting into the groove of this series. I'm still not 100% over the top in love with it yet, but I'm definitely enjoying my reads and things really escalated in THE MIME ORDER! I think the next book will get right into it and kick off fast and furious, where I was kind of losing focus in the first 10% of THE MIME ORDER. 

I'm loving seeing people use their abilities more, there was a lot more world-building in terms of all of that and the inner workings of the Syndicate... everything I really wanted to see! I was initially turned off by the romance and now I'm like the kid in The Princess Bride movie -- I don't mind so much. I like that it's very, very minimal but it does evoke some good feelings. The plot is really the most important part of everything and Paige is her own person, not flinging herself around for her love interest.
