The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

adventurous emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I wanted to stop reading this a few times, it is slow to start and doesn’t really get good until close to 300 pages in. However, once it gets going each part gets better and better. I cannot t recommend this book enough, I loved most of the main characters and the supporting characters shined brightly. I loved how everyone met up and their stories bled together seamlessly. Every fantasy reader should read this book.
