Samantha Shannon: Pale Dreamer (2016, Bloomsbury Publishing Plc)
English language
Published Dec. 21, 2016 by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc.
For its shortness, I liked the plot and characters, but as a prequel or 0.5, I feel like it's not much of an introduction and we are just thrown in the story without much explications.. I nonetheless, can't wait to start the series officially
The Pale Dreamer novella is a prequel to The Bone Season, following Paige in her early days with the syndicate. She is eager to please Jaxon and doesn’t want to step out of line, oh how so different from the young woman we know now. The story follows her first assignment to track down a hostile poltergeist. It’s not got a huge amount of back-story that wasn’t revealed in the novels, but it’s a reasonable filler whilst we wait for The Song Rising.
