Samantha Shannon just does not miss with this fantasy series. A delicious true stand-alone (I couldn’t remember a lot of what happened in Priory, and that was no biggie). The pacing was perfect, which was a remarkable feat in an 850-page fantasy epic. I loved the characters (shoutout to Wulf especially), and the twists were TWISTING! A perfect giant book companion while slogging through my thesis this month
