The Priory of the Orange Tree
by Samantha Shannon
3.75
I finished this behemoth. I feel accomplished in life now.
This book is an epic fantasy with four main POV. After 1000 years, an evil force is awakening. If the East, West, and other parts of the world do not put aside their differences, the world as they know it may end.
What I liked:
The diversity and representation.
How complex the story was
The dragons
The worldbuilding
The message portrayed in this novel
What didn't work for me:
How long the story felt. Sometimes the story would speed by. Other times I found myself feeling like I read a hundred pages and only made it twenty.
How the big fight scene the whole book led up to was only a chapter long. I didn't expect the fight to be over that quickly. I wanted more.
