A review by molly00
A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon

4.5

POV’s / storylines ranked:

1. Glorian - Honestly could read about the Berethnet’s forever and ever and not get tired of them. Plots about court politics and being born into a bloodline that the protagonist is expected to never divert from or break the mould are just chefs kiss. Love her so much
2. Wulf - An icon honestly. Not much more to say. Loved his super sweet friendship with Glorian and his obliviousness towards Thrit
   and the scene at the end when he was in the barn with Sabran… then getting knighted knowing he might never speak to Glorian again… tears were shed
3. Dumai - Although similar to Tané, I liked her a lot, especially when she was travelling and
   communicating in her dreams with Glorian.
   Her and Nikeya’s development was also SOOOO GOOD.
4. Tunuva - I liked her, but at a certain point I am a single childless teenager so there was little about her story I could connect with, since she mainly deals with motherhood, aging, and her straining relationship with her partner.
   The plotline about Canthe vs Esbar also made me really fucking angry

Definitely think that I would have enjoyed this more if I read it before Priory, since I basically knew what was going to happen. Parts of this were very slow, bordering on boring.

This took me forever to read so now I can barely remember reading another book.
