Quick Review: ‘The Priory of the Orange Tree’ by Samantha Shannon
This book is the epic fantasy I’ve been looking for: magic, politics, dragons, and quest to save the world. Shannon has created some wonderful, powerful, lovable characters and has done an immense amount of world building. The romances were carefully built and well-balanced, and the friendships are just as well nurtured.
This is an epic fantasy with queer characters front and centre whose emotions are key but not their only personality, and there is no threat of rape!
Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Genre: Fantasy, Epic Fantasy, LGBTQ+, Romance
Potential Triggers: Body horror (Minor), Fantasy Violence, Plague, Character Death
Do I recommend it?: Yes! I’ve heard a lot of people saying it’s confusing, but if you get past about chapter 8, I promise you start to get the hang of it.
The Court after Ead is accused of being a spy: Do you have anything to say in your defense?
Ead: *looks at Chassar*
Chassar: *mouths* Not guilty
Ead: Hot milky
Chassar: You know what just take her
"You are a root, beloved. You must drink, or you will wither."
Chassar uq-Ispad,The Priory of the Orange Tree, Samantha Shannon
Ead: I prevented a murder today.
Chaser: Amazing! How did you do it?
Ead: I controlled myself.
Chassar: Aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you just wanna go apeshit?
Ead about to kiss Sabran and turn her back on the Priory so she can kick a dragon: Perhaps
Chassar: Well done Damsels. As a reward, take a short holiday.
(Five second pause)
Chassar: Did you enjoy your holiday?
Jondu: Are leaves called leaves because they leave the tree?
Ead: Do they even want to leave though? What if the tree makes them leave?
Chassar: I will fucking make the two of you leave if you don't shut up it's 3am shut up.
