The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

adventurous dark inspiring

5.0

An 800+ page high fantasy epic that I devoured in a week (the last 400 pages in one day as well 😅). The book weaves 4 uniquely different character perspectives, across 2 continents in a world exploring grand adventure. The main plot is themed around a retelling of George and the Dragon, but how different cultures have perceived that tale and what the truth of it all is. I enjoyed every new character and culture introduced, as well as the relationships and intrigue that developed. Satisfying twists and turns, with gripping tension and danger. I loved this book!
