This was less plot driven and more character driven than Priory. Some storylines took me longer to get into than others. I was particulalry involved in Dumai's storyline, I thought it was the strongest of them all, but I did fall in love with all the characters by the end. I think this is definitely something to read alongside Priory, as it explains the origins to a lot of that action, and may feel a little empty or leave you wanting a bit more in terms of the resolution of you haven't or don't read Priory. Overall, I really enjoyed it but I think Priory was my favourite of the two.
