This book ate!! Love this book down. The Priory of the Orange Tree is an epic fantasy that really delivers. It has dragons, powerful queens, ancient magic, and a richly built world that feels both classic and refreshingly modern. It brings strong female characters to the forefront and weaves multiple storylines together in a way that keeps things moving without getting overwhelming. It’s a big book, but once you’re in, you won’t want to leave.

Absolutely amazing novel. Started off a bit slow but around page 100 began to pick up quickly! The four perspectives given throughout the book were really interesting, with Ead's perspective being my favourite. Would definitely recommend! If you want to immerse yourself in a feminist, queer fantasy, this is the book for you
