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!

Roslain seeing Sabran kiss Ead:

ALSO I JUST REALISED. sabran vii being wulf’s child and ead being descended from esbar means sabran and ead are tuva and esbar’s love reborn 😭😭

Tpotot spoilers

I want to know what's gonna happen once Sabran abdicates. Is she going to live in the priory with Ead? Is Ead also going to advocate and there gonna live in a cosy little house together? Is she going to stay at court?

Them~

(look I keep forgetting Sabran is taller, the tall warrior/short lady trope is too strong I guess...)

The priory of the orange tree has me crying for the 288282 time.

Hi Sam -- just finished TPOTOT (loved every moment of it) and have a silly question for you! I always imagined that Ead was taller than Sabran or similar in height (bc she's always kissing Sabran on the temple which doesn't seem very easy if you're the shorter one) but I've seen some other readers comment that Sabran is the taller one! Who's taller?! :)

Sabran is taller! Ead is 5"10' and Sab is 6"1'
