The Priory Of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
The style is fast-paced and action-packed, but with just the right amount of flourishes.The world building is great and the reader has a lot to learn, little by little.All the subplots come together nicely and It ends with a flash and a bang. The characters are believable, coherent, and the author makes you feel and relate. One of the things I love is that Samantha makes you like characters who hate each other and understand why they hate each other, but you can't help but love them both.
Additionally, you can connect to the characters. Gender and sexuality are balanced across the cast of characters, so each part appeals to someone. I did not.
Complex and Elaborate Characterizations for Diverse Ensemble - When it comes to characters, Samantha creates an ensemble that is a cross between Lee Bardugo's "Her Six of the Crows" and her GRRM's "A Song of Ice and Fire." We can say that we are creating. It tells the story from the narrow third-person perspective of her four narrators (all of which we'll discuss in more detail later), and recalls Bardugo's style of storytelling, although the narrator does most of the book. spend time separately. GRRM Teller. Not only that, but the entire cast, both narrators and others, are incredibly diverse in terms of race and sexuality. Orange Tree Abbey follows different characters in a world divided by beliefs and experiences. But what everyone fears is the return of the Nameless One, a dragon with the ability to destroy all.
I would like to start my review by emphasizing that this book is very complicated. There are many character names and locations to get used to. Ultimately, we had to rack our brains to place specific characters. The map at the beginning of the book helped me a lot in getting familiar with the place and really helped me visualize the world Samantha created. , my heart sank when I found out it was all over. I really don't want to part with these characters and this book.
There are so many layers to the character's personality and I loved them.I loved Ead from the beginning. She has a beautiful strength, kindness, and power of character that I loved. I loved it, I loved the LGBT representation too! I liked adding a twist to the usual idea of dragons.Is there anyone who doesn't love dragons anyway? I want one (Ararak is my second favorite character after Eid). Now that I've finished reading this book, I'm at a loss, but I'm sure I'll be exploring more of Samantha's books in the future.
I recommend this book to any fantasy fanatic, as long as you don't mind a little battle at first!
