I LOVEDD THIS - I had it as my work book for like a month and while it wasn’t ideal in terms of getting interrupted during important scenes, it was great for having me actually make progress and not just put it down and forget to pick it up partway through 
While this wasn’t a book where I felt i absolutely needed to pick it up after work, it was incredibly well done and I absolutely loved the reading experience!! It also definitely made me wanna reread Priory :) 
Also Samantha Shannon does character development just so amazingly I love it

 This was a great expansion on the world introduced in Priory. Going into it with a basic understanding of the worldbuilding definitely helped me get into it more smoothly and, as a result, the plot picked up quite quickly. Overall, this was an exciting fantasy book with a great combination of classic fantasy elements and original content, and the characters were great.

I didn’t know a book SO long could be SO fast-paced. I was in love with the characters from the start and got my heart broken and put back together countless times. I love the depth of the history in names of people/places and how the author demonstrates changes in people, places, culture, and languages over time.  I love a book with gay characters in which the trauma has nothing to do with their sexuality. The interview at the end of the audiobook was definitely with the listen.
