matching postcards designs! these were also for my uni summer project and are based on samantha shannon's "the priory of the orange tree" and "a day of fallen night," which are currently some of my favourite fantasy novels alongside garth nix's old kingdom series.

Reading A Day of Fallen Night again, and I just noticed this in the Unora prologue. Crying!!! Only Nikeya’s mother, the poet Nadama pa Tirfosi, was nice to Dumai’s mom when she was at court. And she was pregnant with Nikeya at the time. I love discovering small details like this when re-reading a book.

When history fails to shed light on the truth, myth creates its own.

Eadaz "Ead" du Zala uq-Nāra, Sabran Berethnet and Miduchi Tané from The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon.

i had the wonderful opportunity to visit @sshannonauthor at kinokuniya sydney on the 19th, and it was such a lovely and inspiring time to hear exactly how the world of priory was created and why things existed in it!

to anyone looking for a queer feminist retelling (of st. george and the dragon) with IMMENSELY engaging worldbuilding and characters, i do highly recommend priory!
