I never want to stop reading new books about this world because I have somehow fallen even more in love with it after Fallen Night. 

Oh. My. Gosh. I’m still trying to process it all! The connections between this book and the Priory came with so many surprises, and made some of the Priory storylines so much more meaningful. Characters? What an emotional rollercoaster I had with them! 

My favorite part is that the connections even had a beautiful way of appearing to tell a story of what happened between the two novels without actually doing that—it’s almost like there was a story to read between the lines, if that makes any sense.  

I wish I could read this for the first time over and over.
