A review by catearcagni
The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

5.0

Im at a loss for words.
This is one of the best book I've read in years, there aren't enough words to describe all the reasons why this book is sublime. It just is.
There are lovers, siblings, talking animals, dragons, dragonriders, pirates, witches, and among all of this, the purest friendships you've ever seen.

I loved how queer characters and women were treated all the same, they had the same roles as everyone else. Soldiers were women, Governors were women, Monarchs were women, Hunters and Pirates and Teachers could be women. It was a beautiful thing to read.

This book will stay with me for a long time, I know it.
