Wow. I am speechless! A Day of Fallen Night is absolutely outstanding! A gorgeous, tragic, triumphant fantasy novel set in such a layered world with its own mythology and history carried by the most inspiring, badass women with the most incredible inner and outer strength. A true tale of love, loss, friendship, family and responsibility. Glorian and Tuva were my favourites throughout, not forgetting the wonderful Wulff. It had everything I need and is one of the best books I’ve read in a long, long time. My expectations were high but this exceeded them all and then some. A complete and utter triumph!
