February Round Up and Book of the Month


February's Book of the Month is The Mime Order 
by Samantha Shannon



The Mime Order is the epic sequel to The Bone Season. I read The Bone Season for the first time at the start of February in preparation for meeting the author Samantha Shannon and although I really enjoyed it it wasn't quite a perfect read because the world is very complex and I struggled to get into it. Jumping into The Mime Order straight after meant that I had none of these issues and I found it even more incredible than The Bone Season! It's my first and only 5 star read so far this year and is a worthy book of the month. This series is truly on an epic scale and after that ending I can't wait for book three!
