A Day of Fallen Night

Samantha Shannon helped rekindle my love for fantasy with The Priory of the Orange Tree that I finally managed to finish by midnight of last year. I was fortunate enough to be so late to getting back to my fantasy roots that A Day of Fallen Night was going to be released in two months from finishing Priory. I don't know what I would have done if I had to wait years for another chapter of this legend of a story.

Another tome, one that I know I will have to reread, once I reread Priory because it's definitely a must. I'm sure I missed small details, and some things in Priory make more sense now having read ADOFN.

If you love history and mythology, you'll love this story. If you love badass women, you'll love this story. If you love well developed characters weaving together their own story, you will love this. The author has a way of taking such care with every single word she puts onto paper, and you will find yourself holding your breath to see what comes with her very next line. We are truly lucky that ADOFN was released in one volume. What a ride. You literally have women from all directions on a map creating the foundation for all that is to come.

I don't want to give anything away. But just know that if you loved Priory as much as I do, you will not be disappointed. And I do hope that there is another installment in The Roots of Chaos Series. I could live in this world of high fantasy, dragons, women who love women, and so much lore.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bloomsbury for sharing this ARC with me in exchange for an honest review.
