The priory of the orange tree - Samantha Shannon
A Day of Fallen Night (Samantha Shannon) – A prequel for #ThePrioryOfTheOrangeTree, about five hundred years before that book with even more protagonists to jump between in this massive world making the book big enough to count as an offensive weapon in most EU countries. And of course, like before, plenty of these characters are queer af. I was drawn into this cast a lot quicker than the original and it still felt like there was plenty of freshness despite knowing future events from Priory.
In the West, you have the European-style land of the Queendom of Inys, head of virtuedom - a religion built on the lie of a night half a millennium before. Each Queen is only able to have a single female child to pass down the line and their religion holds that their bloodline keeps The Nameless One at bay; a situation which keeps its queens in chains as much as the peasants. Following Princess Glorian, we see her have to grow up a lot faster than she deserves as a new threat looms upon the world and her right to rule.
In the East, beyond the impassable Abyss sea, you have Asiatic societies whose gods have been asleep for centuries. Dumai has been isolated in the mountains as a godsinger all her life until she is thrust back into the heart of a deeply divided state that refuses to see the rising threat beyond the isolated island.
And in the South lies the Priory, a secret society of women who dedicate their lives to training to defeat The Nameless One when he returns. But it has been so long and some question whether their founding story is true and whether there is any threat to the world that justifies a seclusion some see as imprisonment.
As the end of the world approaches for all, in each corner of the world people rise to face their pain and imagine a future for those they love.
Despite its length, it’s not something that I felt lacked good pacing and always kept me engaged with these characters and their world. I’m always someone who can be sold on anything with a good character and I felt invested in every single one of them, for each of their flaws and dreams.

I just finished reading The Priory of The Orange Tree. I bought it because I had a book hangover from finishing another book and wanted something that would last a while. Didn't work out that way, I read all 800+ pages in four days.
Recently finished reading the book "The Priory of the Orange Tree" and quite enjoyed it. LGBTQIA+ and women leads combined with well written epic fantasy really pulled me in. Would highly recommend #ThePrioryOfTheOrangeTree
It's been a year since I've read a fantasy book and I've just started #ThePrioryOfTheOrangeTree by Samantha Shannon and I am LOVING IT! 🥰 📖
It is 848 pages long, which is making me so happy as books are never long enough...
Fantasy is the best escape from stress and I've missed it so much AND there's an equally massive (880 pages) prequel; I'm just so happy!
And the cover, perfect!

I'M SO EXCITED RIGHT NOW!!! I just finished reading #ThePrioryOfTheOrangeTree by #SamanthaShannon a few minutes ago (took me 6 months, but I loved it!) and now I'm about to start a book my husband gave me for Christmas last year: #HouseOfLeaves by #MarkZDanielewski . I've been dying to read it, but I know it'll take me a while so I wanted to make sure I finished Priory first.

I'm working on #ThePrioryOfTheOrangeTree this weekend. It has taken me a while, but now it's really taking off.

Bought this not-so-little #book from my local bookshop at a ridiculously low price. It's an 850 page hardcover and just released, yet cost the same as a paperback. Good for me and my wallet, but you almost feel a little bad paying so little.
I loved #ThePrioryOfTheOrangeTree by #SamanthaShannon, so I'm really looking forward to reading #ADayOfFallenNight. #Books #Bookstodon

Ok, virtually everyone recommending #ThePrioryOfTheOrangeTree says “It has dragons!!”
I read the book three years ago. What does it say about me that I remember lots of traveling, a bit of romance,and something about oranges, but literally NOTHING about any dragons?
Has anyone read #ThePrioryOfTheOrangeTree by #SamanthaShannon? I tried it a few months back and couldn’t get past the first few chapters. I have to assume it gets better since it’s so widely beloved.
Hello! What are you all #currentlyreading ? I'm reading #theprioryoftheorangetree by Samantha Shannon! 🍊🌴🐉
I done got myself a copy of #ThePrioryOfTheOrangeTree by #SamanthaShannon. It will be next year before I get to it, but I've read the first four pages & I think I will enjoy it.
