This was a great expansion on the world introduced in Priory. Going into it with a basic understanding of the worldbuilding definitely helped me get into it more smoothly and, as a result, the plot picked up quite quickly. Overall, this was an exciting fantasy book with a great combination of classic fantasy elements and original content, and the characters were great.

An incredible book - arguably better than Priory in some ways.
Can be read before or after it, and the story is still wonderful.
Lots of diverse characters, mixed in with adventure and tragedy - it’s a fabulous read, worth the time it takes to read.
There were aspects that I wasn’t so keen on (mostly about the plot) but because it is linked to Priory the history cannot be changed.
Overall a very enjoyable read. Another fabulous tome!
