About this listen

A dreamer is born - the exhilarating prequel to the ground-breaking, extraordinary Bone Season series.

In the perilous heart of Scion London, a dangerous and valuable poltergeist is on the loose - and it must be caught before chaos erupts on the streets of the capital. Here, the clairvoyant underworld plays by its own rules, and rival gangs will stop at nothing to win such a magnificent prize.

Sixteen-year-old Paige Mahoney is working for Jaxon Hall, the most notorious mime-lord in the city. He thinks she is hiding a powerful gift, but it refuses to surface. Maybe this is the opportunity she needs to secure her position in his gang, the Seven Seals....

The Pale Dreamer is AMAZING

Alana was great as she always is in this series.

I feel the prequel story doesn’t add a lot to Paige or the overall series. The beginning seemed relatively slow and I believe it’s because there is a lot of repeated information from the primary series which will either take away the reveal for new readers to the overall series and slows down/adds nothing for prior Bone Season readers.

It’s a nice story and the main conflict is interesting. It’s also nice to see a more hopeful Paige, but I don’t feel it was a necessary or value adding addition to the series.

Pleasant story but doesn’t really add anything
