4, could argue 3.75– listen, i am a sucker for complex politics and long winded fantasy worlds, and i LOVED priory for the slow pacing and build up, but fallen night is a bit too slow. it was always going to have less action than priory as it shows the arrival of the wyrms in the world & we know the real drama happens centuries later, but it really didn’t start going anywhere until halfway in which i can see as a deterrent for a lot of people. also while i liked them a lot, i just never got as attached to this batch of characters as i did priory’s cast.
still absolutely loved it for its expansion of the world’s history and connections between characters!

Wulf glimpsed a sweet and unexpected future, far away. Then he turned around and walked towards his past.
I savoured this book, like I did Priory of the Orange Tree. While I found the overall themes and characters pretty similar to Priory, I enjoyed the world building and prose in this series so much that I've let comparisons fall by the way side. An achievement in it's own right.

Far more enjoyable than The Priory of the Orange Tree.
The characters within this book held a lot more depth and diversity, and I thoroughly enjoyed the aspect of exploring different perspectives throughout the book, whether those perspectives were manipulated by their faiths, age, etc.
The ending tied wonderfully with The Priory’s current timeline, and I adored reading about the inner conflicts characters had about their faiths.
Overall, the book was enjoyable, but I feel like it would’ve been more impactful spread across several books, rather than the one. At points it felt very drawn out and I found it hard to read.

4.25- 4.75 probably. I feel like I would’ve loved this just a tad more if I’d read it before reading Priory because I felt a bit like I knew too much of this story, specifically the parts that gave it suspense.
