If I could give this book a million stars, I would!!!

A Day of Fallen Night is somehow richer and even more enthralling than Priory, which I didn’t think was possible. The characters are beautiful and the themes of family, identity/self, and loyalty that are explored in this story are deep, complicated, and just beyond words. I felt more attached to these characters than in Priory, which (again) I didn’t think would be possible. The last 100 or so pages had me sobbing with a huge smile on my face. I can’t say much more without (unintentionally) spoiling things but if you read and loved Priory, READ THIS!!!!!

Samantha Shannon has created something extremely special in the Roots of Chaos world and I’m so excited to see what comes next!!!!
