The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
4.0
4.5 stars
TW: gore; death of a friend; miscarriage
The thing that keeps this from being 5 stars is that I do think this should have been multiple books. This world is so vast and complex that there were times I do think things were skimmed over that wouldn’t have been if there were more books. This single book also reads as multiple books anyway, so I feel it could have easily been split up.
But beyond that, I love this world and the masterful interweaving of characters that we had here. The character arcs were wonderful, and the world was rich. This makes me want to read more by Samantha Shannon.
