The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced

5.0

Where do I even begin with this big, BEAUTIFUL book?! I instantly felt at home in its pages and it quickly sky rocketed to the top of my all tome favourite fantasy novels EVER. I’d be hard pressed to find even a tiny little thing I didn’t love about it, everything about this book was just absolute perfection. The world building is just beyond stunning, Shannon really creates something unique in the fantasy genre with this book. It’s not as grim and dark as a lot of fantasy is these days, it’s beautiful and diverse and totally unlike anything I’ve ever read before. And I mean, DRAGONS!!!!
