“We may be small, and we may be young, but we will shake the world for our beliefs.”

The Priory of the Orange Tree tells the tale of a divided world. Omens are lurking of the return of The Nameless One. But how to keep a world save from The Nameless One when everyone has their own interest in mind?

So I conquered this brick of a book. If any book deserves all the hype it’s getting, it’s this one. I must admit that I struggled a lot in the beginning. But fortunately my buddy reads told me to push through. And I’m so glad I did. This book has such an extensive worldbuilding with eye for detail. And the characters are so well sculpted that they feel almost real. I liked the good characters and even the “bad”. As this book illustrates so perfectly how being blindsided by your own belief can cause a divided world. How misconceptions, hatred and fear are the themes we must conquer. Not only was it heavy on moral it also mentioned themes like grief, the power of choice, friendship and it had queer representation. This book is also heavy on plot and action. As you might guess, this is a new favorite. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a slow fantasy with great characters and dragons. Especially dragons!
