Despite it already being just over 800 pages long, I would have loved another 10, 50, 200 pages in this book simply to keep it from ending. "The Priory of the Orange Tree" is a standout novel that I would recommend to anyone who loves intricate, feminist, queer, and dragon-filled fantasy stories with plenty of adventure and delightful characters. I would compare it to "Eragon" and "Game of Thrones" for its sprawling world that discusses politics, religion, and again, dragons, over multiple (4) POVs, but at the same time please don't think this is another HBO-esque world of battling families or good VS evil- "Priory" is so much more than that! It's full of heart and hope, it looks at complicated characters who work to balance duty and want, and it's surprisingly accessible for an 800-page book, so don't let that daunt you. "Priory" is a gem of a book and I so hope Shannon returns to this world at some point it the future- I would love to see more! ( )

I don't like medieval court politics so this was not for me. I was very confused when 500 pages in, the main character "hero" slaughters an innocent person while trying to sneak into the castle. Her companion gives her a weird look then nothing is said again. Might the first killing of an innocent make her feel some emotion? I don't know, because nothing is said about it ever again. Imagine Frodo slits a hobbit's throat then goes on as if nothing happened. ( )

Richly detailed with much to love and appreciate. Is it a perfect book? Nah. I too, like other readers, struggled with the unearned change of heart on which the climax depends. And found other inconsistencies that made me pause in my reading. But honestly, at 800 pages full of multiple versions of everything from dragons to world religions to hairdos, this absolute unit of a book has so much else for you to attend to, it's hard to be mad for more than a few pages. The pacing might be a bit rushed in the final third, a few characters may be flat, and yes, that one guy who dies literally existed just to die, but I was cheering for (all) the good guys and the united front and the elegant dragons straight out of Japanese myth by the end anyway. Because huzzah for a true epic fantasy that isn't just about straight beardy white fellas with swords! And hooray too for an epic that reflects the depth of complexity that exists in any world, even a made up one, and aspires to the richness and detail of its mythic heritage. I'm on board with that.

So. Dang. good. This book is an INVESTMENT, but it is worth every moment spent reading. So rich and immersive. ( )

It is a complexity—moral, thematic, and social—that The Priory of the Orange Tree is short on, for all its length.
