The Priory of the Orange Tree
by Samantha Shannon
Was this book a behemoth? Yes. Did I read it in less than 24 hours? Also yes. Shannon has successfully written an eloquent adult fantasy novel that manages to tie up every plotline and loose string in 800 masterful pages. The romances are subtle and beautifully crafted, not in-your-face like some romance novels, and I love that the author approaches the queer ones in the same way that she addresses the straight ones. Sexuality isn't at the center of the intrigue – the characters are. All in all, I ate this book up and could have read it straight through had I had the time. 10/10 would re-read.
