Shannon's Priory of the Orange Tree had such an impact on me that it's been my favorite book for years. I never pass up an opportunity to recommend it to new readers. So I absolutely smashed the request button (and preordered a physical copy) when I saw A Day of Fallen Night.
A Day of Fallen Night is a stand alone prequel to Priory. Though it is set in the same world, and Priory readers will recognize many of the characters, you do not need prior knowledge of this world to enjoy this title. Shannon does an excellent job of expanding upon existing characters and locations without retconning her previous work.
It was an excellent story, in a vibrant world, and I will absolutely be rereading it in the future.
I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
