wulmin 's review for:

A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon
4.0

Just as with the Priory of the Orange tree, the book had a slow and careful start. However, it took me a long while, a bit too long, to really get into the story and intrigues. The Priory of the Orange tree started better in my opinion, though I really enjoyed the sphere of the world this book brought to me. Whereas the end of the Priory went way too fast in comparison with the slow and well-written start, this prequel hooked me up more and more in the second half of the book, though I missed something at the beginning. I really enjoyed the last part of the Day of Fallen Night and it made me curious about how the world Shannon describes is connected. Overall, I really enjoyed this book!
