![]() If you love fantasy, dragons (both Eastern and Western styles), and amazing representation amongst a cast of lovable characters who pay dearly for their mistakes, then The Priory of the Orange Tree needs to sit at the top of your TBR pile (or perhaps, the firm temporary foundation of it). Across the sea, the Eastern empires remains closed and unaffected – but not for long. The Nameless One is waking up, his draconic army stirs, and the red plague is the scourge of Virtudom. The Red Abbey Chronicles by Maria Turtschaninoff - a YA fantasy series about the Red Abbey, an isolated island haven of learning and healing for women. The Priory of the Orange Tree follows four main characters as they struggle to find their place in the world as the apocalypse begins. Frohock - a collection of three novellas about the war between angels and daimons in 1930s Spain. It is 800 pages of character driven story that puts itself firmly in the category of ‘do not miss’ fantasy. It is not an 800 page slog through a mire of excessively long diatribes about food. But don’t let yourself be intimidated by its size. ![]() I am a complete sucker for big books, and at 800 pages long, The Priory of the Orange Tree, written by Samantha Shannon, certainly fits the bill. I have been eyeing this book for some time. ![]()
