QUEER LADIES AND DRAGONS FRANKLY WHAT COULD BE BETTER!??

(This was as lovely [if not more so??!?] than the first priory book for me. Despite kind of a slow start [and in general, a slow moving book] I had a great time. I liked all the pov characters more than I did in the first book. I was invested even tho I could t quite remember all the details of the first one that had impacts on this one [despite being 500 years prior] and goooood it was just, *chefs kiss* I want 800k of nikeya and dumai and all the early beginnings of Tuva and esbar’s love story pls and thank).

I read Priory before reading A Day of Fallen Night, and I loved picking up on details that connected characters and events of the two books. Even though you can read them in either order, I think reading Priory first gives you a good understanding of all the different cultures and religions in this world. ADOFN is beautiful, and each of the four main characters are complex women with incredible stories.

Again, another flawless book, I cannot believe how much I loved this book

Sarò onesto: non mi aspettavo un libro così bello.
Non dico finisca nella lista di migliori fantasy di sempre, questo no, ma mi aspettavo un fantasy mediocre.
Beh, mi sbagliavo. Questo libro mi ha intrattenuto con un bel worldbuilding, una bella storia e bei personaggi! Penso proprio di averlo preferito al Priorato dell'albero delle arance

Better than Priory and a great immersive book! It took a while to get going but really enjoyed it once it started moving! A lot of characters and names and locations which were difficult to keep track of though. Also disappointed by some of the major scenes like when
Wulf and Tunva finally meet
but Samantha Shannon just kinda of fades to black or doesn’t talk about it. I wish those scenes were more built out but it was almost 900 pages so I guess it didn’t need to be any longer.

A slow but great read for me. I think her writing style is so good and she has amazing diversity and character representation in her books.
