The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

adventurous challenging slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.0

Man this book was a test to my endurance. The story itself is very well crafted, and could become an epic fantasy classic. But the slow pace and the prose (the voice comes across almost medieval) makes it very challenging to get through. 

If you like epic fantasy series like GOT, LOTR, etc  you will probably like this book. 
If you’re a fantasy romance girlie who likes TOG, fourth wing, etc (me. I am this girl) this book is probably not for you.
