If you’re into high fantasy novels with a bit of a sapphic turn, priory is for you! Without spoiling anything i’d have to say Kalyba, the witch, was my favorite character. — I hope to read more about her in Samantha’s new prequel, “A Day of Fallen Night”.
I can go on and on about how friggin’ good this novel is, but trust the reviews.. it’s highly recommended for a reason! I rated the novel 4.75 for a reason, merely because I would’ve like Tane’s story to be longer. I found myself cheering for her and drinking in each page that had her name splattered on it.
Other than that, get your hands on this book and lose yourself to dragons and witches, curses and riches!
