The Bone Season

"The Bone Season" has a terrific premise. Paige is a Voyent. That is, she and many others have clairvoyent powers that can manipulate spirits trapped in the ether. They live an underground existence in gangs because the government has declared them unnatural, illegal, and the sentence is death. Paige is captured but rather than facing capital punishment, she finds herself a slave to the Rephaites, an alien race trying to protect the world from an even greater terror. This is definitely good buildup, but I thought it a little flat. I found myself more preoccupied with the idea of Stockholm syndrome than the details of the story itself.
