Each is entirely unique, and the voices follow suit. The Priory of the Orange Tree is told from multiple perspectives, spanning the world Shannon has created. I have reviewed Shannon’s other series, ‘The Bone Season’ on Bookstacked before, and so I needed to shout about her standalone novel too. However, I couldn’t resist reviewing it because it is so good. One thing to note: Priory is not a YA novel. Meanwhile, the divided East and West refuse to parley, and forces of chaos are rising from their sleep. Ead keeps a watchful eye on Sabran, secretly protecting her with forbidden magic.Īcross the dark sea, Tané has trained to be a dragonrider since she was a child, but is forced to make a choice that could see her life unravel. Though she has risen to the position of lady-in-waiting, she is loyal to a hidden society of mages. Still unwed, Queen Sabran the Ninth must coneive a daughter to protect her realm from destruction - but assassins are creeping closer to her door.Įad Duryan is an outsider at court. The House of Berethnet has ruled Inys for a thousand years. It’s a huge tome, but the story is definitely worth the muscle strain. As a lover of Samantha Shannon’s work, I couldn’t wait to pick up The Priory of the Orange Tree.
