THE SCENE WHERE HE TELLS HER TO LEAVE HIM AND SHE'S LIKE "BITCH I WANT THIS DO YOU" AND HE LITERALLY JUST HAULED HIMSELF UP BC HE LOVES HER SO MUCH

In the future, the government has decided to seek out clairvoyant people and hunt them down, using media propaganda to turn the masses against these people. As a result, clairvoyants who haven't sold their souls to the government must live in hiding, committing crimes to make it by. Paige is one such clairvoyant - a particularly rare one called a dreamwalker - and life is hard enough before she is abducted and taken far away, to live as a slave for a race of immortals called the Rephaim, who have orchestrated the entire war on voyants. Can Paige escape in time to save herself? As part of my work with UN Women, I have started reading as many books and essays about equality as I can get my hands on. There is so much amazing stuff out there! Funny, inspiring, sad, thought-provoking, empowering! I’ve been discovering so much that, at times, I’ve felt like my head was about to explode… I decided to start a Feminist book club, as I want to share what I’m learning and hear your thoughts too.When she wakes up after walking in Warden's dreamscape, still furious with him about the salvia, Michael greets her with a spread of food. She tells him she's not hungry and that she doesn't want Warden's "guilt breakfast," but since she doesn't have anything against Michael personally, it doesn't take much coaxing to make her eat. Paige is such a determined and resilient character that I always find great pleasure in reading of her exploits but I must say that her development and the ways she has matured and grown are my favorite thing to witness in her. She's a badass but she also knows how to be emotional and care a lot. It's a fine line that I think she manages splendidly. Arit, John (19 August 2013).

In April 2021 Shannon confirmed that work was underway on an untitled fifth installment, [23] with publication expected in 2024. The completed series is expected to have a total of seven novels, [24] with the sixth installment expected to be published in 2026. [25] There's a quote in The Mask Falling that perfectly describes not only my feelings towards this installment but the whole series in general so far; "I am of the considered opinion that for every person, there exists a book that will sing to them. I trust that you will find yours." I always say, with each new one that I read, how fond I am of this series, how incredible it is, how potent it is, how dear it is to my heart. But when I read that quote I realized, to sum it up, it truly is a series that sings to me. The growing love story between Warden and Paige is extremely enjoyable, it is subtle and doesn't totally overshadow the actual storyline, and is well paced. You never think it unbelievable or too rushed, but just enjoy the ride. It isn't a big romantic story, which it may grow to be, but the very start of what could develop into an epic love. Shannon’s novels have been praised for creating a detailed alternate reality complete with its own language and points of reference.

Lectures. LOADS of lectures. Every time the author needs us to know something. Hence it doesn't flow and for me it's the mark of a bad writing, sorry, especially in the action scenes - There's this huge danger lurking and the characters are so... calm... so teacher like. Upon their arrival in the penal colony, every voyant is assigned a Rephaite keeper and taught to fight the Emim as part of a penal battalion. Paige is chosen by a Rephaite called Arcturus Mesarthim, known as the Warden, who has never previously shown interest in humans. If she wants to escape the penal colony and return to London, she must learn how to survive in her new environment ... and figure out her keeper's mysterious motives.
