DNFed this one 200 pages in. It was just too confusing for me unfortunately. Maybe if I read the next one first?

Rly enjoyed it, but it would’ve been better broken into more books with more details…the love story was rushed and didn’t make much sense, but the world is cool and I loved the concepts. It just somehow felt both rushed and dragging at the same time because of how much was crammed into it.
I tried twice and hated it both times. Reading spoilery reviews of people with similar tastes has solidified my DNF.
It was a battle to get through the first 100-200 pages and wrap my head around what was going on but i’m glad i stuck it out & i ended up getting very invested
I really enjoyed the world of the Priory of the Orange Tree. It’s basis in history and reality made it feel grounded, while it’s fantastical diversions brought it to Life. I had great affection for a lot of the characters, but I didn’t really love any of them, so I had a hard time staying engaged for extended periods of time. That being said, I felt like the story had good pay off, and it’s definitely worth the read.
Hey, you! Are you looking for a story full of magic, dragons and badass women? Then this book is for you!
This high fantasy book has four main characters: Ead, the sworn protector of Sabran IX, queen of Inys; Tané, a young Seiikinese woman who aspires to become a dragonrider; Niclays Roos, an exiled alchemist living in Seiiki; and Arteloth, an Inysh noble man who has suddenly disappeared. The fates of these four individuals will slowly intertwine over time as the threat of The Nameless One grows greater than ever before.
The story is set in a medieval type of world, which you can tell by the way everything is described and the way the characters speak. It really adds life to the story. The fictional world this story takes place in is so beautifully detailed, with the way different cultures and religions are described. I also really liked the characters, they all had their own beliefs and passions they stood up for. Also, the way dragons were incorporated into the story was great, I love dragons <3
This story had an important sapphic relationship that was heart-warming to read. Absolutely LOVED it.
One thing I had a problem with was the pacing of the story. The story got off with a slow start, although that was understandable because of the world building. Some action scenes in the last ~200 pages were described in a way that left me feeling underwhelmed. Still, I really liked the plot and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who's interested!
