The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

1.0

This was just not for me. It has too many "important" characters for me to remember. However, I will concede that most of them were very interesting and developed well. The plot was very complicated, but it did come together at the end and was semi-satisfying. I think if this had been split into two (maybe three) books, a couple primary characters cut or told through another instead, and the plot slightly more streamlined, then I would have liked it more. This has a strong rating with a good number of reviews, so I'm obviously in the minority with this read. Am I mad I read it? No, but I'll definitely never come back to it again.
