I absolutely loved this book. 
 
I thought it was so interesting to see what happened 500 years prior to THE PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE aka 500 years after the slaying of the nameless one. I feel like there's a lot of stuff mentioned in the previous (next?) book that we get the back story for in this book which I loved! 
 
I really liked the characters and I loved the connection between Inys and the Priory - there's a lot more to it than what I was expecting... 
 
Even with how much I enjoyed reading it, I have to admit I was constantly thinking 'why is this book so looooooooong' - I just can't cope with books that are longer than 300 pages, even if I do enjoy them... 
 
Anyway, I am itching for a book set post THE PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE!
