The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
4.0
This book is such a perfect example of world-building done right. Once you begin to catch onto character names and kingdoms, the story begins to flow much smoother.
However, my only conflict with this story is pacing. The beginning of the novel took some time to finally get somewhere and it delayed my reading speed. And … the ending. I’m not disappointed by where the ending left us. I just feel like I read through 700-something pages for a 20 page battle … it felt somewhat anti-climactic?
