5.0

priory of the orange tree set the world up beautifully and a day of fallen night built on that, even though we see 200 years into the past! the intertwining with priory’s future was really well done, and the inclusion of lgbtq+ folks into more of the story was incredible. TWO wlw relationship! TWO!!!! and one of them was comprised of OLDER WOMEN! it was fantastic.

the pacing was excellent, easing a person into the world again before taking off. relationships were complex and interesting, and a lot of anxieties the characters experience are so real and relatable. 

anyhow! i loved this book!!!!!!!
