Au Nord， dans le reinaume d’Inys， Sabran l’Ambitieuse a épousé le nouveau roi du Hróth， sauvant de justesse les deux royaumes de la ruine。 Leur fille， Glorian， vit dans leur ombre， exactement là où elle veut demeurer。
Dumai a quant à elle passé sa vie dans un temple de montagne seiikinois， essayant de réveiller les dragons de l’Est de leur long sommeil。 Mais le passé de sa mère va venir bouleverser son destin。

10/10。 A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon。 Samantha Shannon， you’ve done it again。 I may never emotionally recover from this book。 Loved every single story line and the pacing was just right。 It has everything you need in a fantasy: MILF lesbians， a slow burn enemies to lovers， amazing world building， insane plot twists， and complicated mother-daughter relationships。 Lesbians with mommy issues unite

This took me an inordinately long time to read， but it was really， really worth it。I don't remember much about The Priory of the Orange tree except for， well， the priory of the orange tree。 So returning to the world Shannon has created was like entering it for the first time。 I was amazed by the detailed， intelligent writing， the vibrant imagery and the immersive nature of the descriptions， and the expansive， unique worldbuilding。Seriously， the worldbuilding and just the descriptions of things w This took me an inordinately long time to read， but it was really， really worth it。I don't remember much about The Priory of the Orange tree except for， well， the priory of the orange tree。 So returning to the world Shannon has created was like entering it for the first time。 I was amazed by the detailed， intelligent writing， the vibrant imagery and the immersive nature of the descriptions， and the expansive， unique worldbuilding。Seriously， the worldbuilding and just the descriptions of things were fantastic。 I was awed。As far as the story itself goes， it started slow， but I was still interested even before people started getting set on fire and such。 After all， the setup of the world was very good， as was the presentation of the characters。 It was very easy to become interested in seeing what was going to happen。What really surprised me， though， was how character-driven the book became as it carried on。 What was actually happening in the world of the story wasn't necessarily something the characters could always influence， but watching them react against it was quite interesting。In particular， Glorian's arc stood out to me。 She wasn't my favorite character， per say， but watching her grow and develop and change in response to a rapidly shifting world was just marvelous。 I was cheering for her in the end。And of course， the other characters were very good as well。 Dumai， Tunuva， and Wulf also all had great arcs， and they all eventually managed to capture my emotions。One additional element I also just found myself loving were the character relationships。 Not just the romances; in fact， I was more interested in the deep friendships and parent-child relationships that wound they way through the plot。 That element was excellently done， and served to add a really tender element to the story。Despite all that， my only complaint is that for such a long book， so many parts seemed to be just very quickly glossed over。 I mean， Dumai's life and perception of herself drastically changed in a minute， and then the next time we see her， it's a year later and she's fine？ I would have liked some more development in places like that。Even so， this was a truly wonderful book。 I would recommend it， even as just a standalone， because of the rich experience it contains。 。。。more

I'm really curious to read more about the history and characters of this world。 The world of The Roots of Chaos has a truly distinct feel and I'm impressed at how it's all constructed。 I like that Shannon is releasing enormous tomes that are standalone but in the same world。 I don't see that a whole lot in epic fantasy （more so in romance， unless I'm much mistaken）。 All the big ones off the top of my head are one epic。 This is like different epics， same world。 How groovy。 I'm really curious to read more about the history and characters of this world。 The world of The Roots of Chaos has a truly distinct feel and I'm impressed at how it's all constructed。 I like that Shannon is releasing enormous tomes that are standalone but in the same world。 I don't see that a whole lot in epic fantasy （more so in romance， unless I'm much mistaken）。 All the big ones off the top of my head are one epic。 This is like different epics， same world。 How groovy。 。。。more

3，5 starsBook 1 of the series， "The Priory of the Orange Tree"， has this beautiful message about the thin line where faith gives you strength but can also narrow your mind which we shouldn't let happen but stay open and share opinions。 And since this book takes place 500 years earlier， it's like the characters aren't allowed have this inner conflict to question their beliefs and come to this point yet， keeping believing that their course isn't perfectly comfortable but the only right one。 There' 3，5 starsBook 1 of the series， "The Priory of the Orange Tree"， has this beautiful message about the thin line where faith gives you strength but can also narrow your mind which we shouldn't let happen but stay open and share opinions。 And since this book takes place 500 years earlier， it's like the characters aren't allowed have this inner conflict to question their beliefs and come to this point yet， keeping believing that their course isn't perfectly comfortable but the only right one。 There're only small doubts （even about forcing a new religion on countries although their peoples are enamored with the faiths they have！） that aren't given deeper attention。 I find the POV characters and their love stories a bit lukewarm， too。 I'd actually say my favourite couple in this book are the side characters Sabran and Bardholt lol。 There's so much potential to make it more intense and Samantha Shannon writes the recognitions of love so beautifully but then she hardly gives them pages （view spoiler）[ （Wulf x Thrit） （hide spoiler）] or stays on the surface （view spoiler）[ with Dumai and Nikeya。 It's like they always talk about exactly the same thing with Nikeya openly flirting and Dumai saying she doesn't trust her， rinse and repeat。 Or their info dump each other。 But where is the slow building of an emotional connection that Ead and Sabran have？ Where is the rose on the pillow？？ Okay， the hair combing scene is lovely; I found it very relatable because I had a crush on my hairdresser once， too， because it felt to intimate。 But their romance seems similarly superficial and physical as my crush was。 （hide spoiler）] Nikeya would've made a cooler main POV， too， with her schemes going on and overcoming them。 Dumai， and the other protagonists， too， in their ways， don't have the doubts nor make the risky decisions that give book 1 its emotional engagement and shocking plot twists。 Here it's like everyone discusses the best course of action and then they follow it， to go on journey after journey to have meetings not as dramatic as anticipated。But great to have an asexual main character with Glorian; her asexuality is more explored than Tane's in Priory。 Her love for Hróth is so moving and how she grows from the cheerful young girl through self doubts to responsible ruler is impressively done。 I expected more from her warrior queen theme though （why can't she have trained as a soldier from childhood， if only to make it more than an aesthetic？） and the topic of bodily autonomy takes some odd turns。 The book doesn't really want me to believe the worst about monarchies is royals expected to have children and not， like， the absolute power the Berethnets have， too？ They're queens seen as half-divine。 Maybe the fact that everyone in this world but the Berethnets has quite reproductive freedom should be more emphasized， to show how envious the queens are of other people， yet how can I overlook how privileged they are in other aspects， given the aristocratic political structure， the demanded obedience and the threat of poverty for commoners？ If the queens wanted to change things， they could。 They are the ones in power。 They still choose to continue their teaching and reap the benefits of their throne。 It's almost like Samantha Shannon focused so much on bodily autonomy she forgot about the threat of the world ending。 As they have several conversations about it， the characters appear more upset about expectations to have children than grieving for the MILLIONS OF PEOPLE who are dying right in front of everyone。 （view spoiler）[ With for example Inys losing half its population， Samantha Shannon should have to dared have more relevant characters dying just to drive home the impact of the catastrophe。 （hide spoiler）]But on the other hand， the world building is absolutely too stunning to rate lower。 It's always believable it takes place 500 years earlier as there're all these little differences。 The numerous countries are very detailed in cultures， aesthetics and lore yet it never becomes boring or overwhelming to read as the descriptions are so short and evocative。 Especially the myths are exciting because we get glimpses that the concept of fire and starlight magic is known all over the world but lost or muddled and I'm so curious what the other installments will reveal。PS: I'll never forgive the order women thought they could do this to Anyso， an innocent young man and father。 I'm so disappointed the order isn't more critisized here in the book and it decreased my interest in that part。 You only are treated well if you conform and never disagree or question the leaders。 How is that better than Inys？ （view spoiler）[And how weird that Wulf is so easily welcomed AND allowed to leave and return again when Siyu is faces such mistreatment and gaslighting for， ah， falling in love！ Her mother even victim-blames her for her ichneumon dying in battle， WTF。 I don't know how to feel about her ending， she gets away from that place as she wanted but won't see her daughter for years？ （hide spoiler）] 。。。more

I’ve waited months for this book， and it both lived up to and far exceeded my expectations。 An absolute masterclass in fantasy and fiction。 Easily one of the greatest books I have ever read， and a bar that I will compare all of the fantasy books from this point to。 I will miss this book， dearly。 Nothing tops reading Samantha Shannon’s books for the first time。

I am going to pull my jaw off the floor at some point and write a review that is better than any I can give now， but I will say that this sequel/prequel is as good- and in some important ways， better - than the magnificent “Priory of the Orange Tree。”And I will also say， for now， that I don’t think I’ll ever get over the wonder， thrill， or amazement that books like this exist as a person who grew up without books like this: high fantasy books with strong queendoms （and kingdoms）; queerness that I am going to pull my jaw off the floor at some point and write a review that is better than any I can give now， but I will say that this sequel/prequel is as good- and in some important ways， better - than the magnificent “Priory of the Orange Tree。”And I will also say， for now， that I don’t think I’ll ever get over the wonder， thrill， or amazement that books like this exist as a person who grew up without books like this: high fantasy books with strong queendoms （and kingdoms）; queerness that isn’t seen as unusual or something to titillate male characters; men who are feminists; female， male， trans and non-binary warriors and leaders in books that also includes magic AND dragons。 In other words， books （with magic and dragons） that portray true equality， for every type of character one can imagine。 All the stars。 Every single one for this series， and this book。 。。。more

After a good few hours sleep， I have had time to think on this。 It is no secret that “The Priory of the Orange Tree” is my favorite book。 “A Day of Fallen Night” is incredible and， I would say， perfect。 It does not broach my favorites list， but it is still amazing。This is a book largely to do with the intersection between freedom of a person and duty of or to an institution: Glorian is free to be herself （as far as a Queen can be） so long as she provides her heir。 So too are all Berethnet Queens After a good few hours sleep， I have had time to think on this。 It is no secret that “The Priory of the Orange Tree” is my favorite book。 “A Day of Fallen Night” is incredible and， I would say， perfect。 It does not broach my favorites list， but it is still amazing。This is a book largely to do with the intersection between freedom of a person and duty of or to an institution: Glorian is free to be herself （as far as a Queen can be） so long as she provides her heir。 So too are all Berethnet Queens， chained to their duty by the “Saint”。Dumai is free as a kite: she can exercise control of herself in the air， but always while tethered to the ground。 She is tied to the Noziken family， and is responsible， much as Glorian， for upholding the line。Tunuva is a member of the Priory， and so must abide by the rules governing their society。 Primarily: unattachment from her blood family in favor of her Priory sisters。Wulf is a child found by the Haithwood， sworn to both Inys and Hróth， and descended from the South。 He must protect his King in the North， Queen in the West， and fight with his Lith， yet cannot because of his lineage; he is shackled to his past， and treated differently for it。Each character （with an exception of Wulf， for the most part） is smothered in expectation and duty for their respective causes （be it acting as nothing more than a womb， foregoing deep attachment and the ability to grieve for secrecy， or strengthening a line without regents） which is， truly， difficult to read。 Honestly， the lack of agency for these lovely characters hurts so much。There is a reason I kept wishing for the characters to be happy: they struggle so much with their duties， and cannot enjoy the lives that they have because of it。 Even Wulf feels bound to his duty and cannot accept love till late。The way each character rises to and above their objectives is heartbreaking。 Glorian must give up her childhood and become a tool for the state， Dumai must remain a kite till her rope is cut， Tunuva must choose between blood or love， Wulf must distance himself to find love。 If I could hug every character， I would do so。One aspect I found far superior to “Priory” is the normalization of queerness。 The first book， while certainly pretty gay， did not feel quite as open as this one （possibly due to the state of the world at the time， 500 years later）。Here， it is so normal， and it feels at once wholly unnatural （given the canon of epic fantasy series and the complete absence of queer identity） and absolutely wonderful。 There are SO MANY sapphic characters （Tunuva and Esbar， Dumai， Nikeya， Helisent， Canthe， etc。）， a great number of gay / bi characters （Wulf’s baron fathers， Wulf， Thrit）， a host of gender non-conforming / non-binary / possible trans characters （Mastress Bourn， Lade Edith， Master Kiprun [initially introduced as “Mistress Kiprun，” unless I recall incorrectly]）， aromantic and asexual representation （Glorian Shieldheart！！！）， and of course， the polyamorous Numun and other members of the Carmentum Republic。Seriously， it is just such a normal part of the world！！ I love it！！ Added that each relationship is portrayed so beautifully？ Perfect！Speaking of relationships: Tunuva and Esbar are THE mothers！！ Oh my gosh， they are just spectacular together！！ Even at their worst， when Canthe drove them apart， they still feel such love for one another， and can communicate in such a healthy manner！！ The love between Sabran VI and Bardholdt is great！！ I loved their dynamic together， and that Bard is such a doting father to Glorian！！Dumai and Nikeya。 Wow。 I cannot write on this one， I may cry。I am so happy for Wulf and Thrit！！ Wulf deserves love and happiness！！On the topic of lore: this book is packed with it。 Though it has been a few years since I read “Priory，” there were characters and events I recalled。 This is far more powerful having read it second; many reveals in the original are more impactful， but I find it excusable。 This is， after all， a prequel。 Not “Book 1。” So there should be no expectation that this is the introduction to the series， or at least that is my thought。I shall be thinking about this for years to come。 After I reread “Priory” in the coming weeks， I shall reflect again on this and may add more thoughts。 For now， suffice it to say I loved this， and shall be excited for any future works in this world！！ 。。。more

Read over 3 days and 3 long sittings…I shall need time to properly encapsulate my thoughts and even then， that day may not come。 TL;DR: an overwhelmingly enchanting prequel to a beloved book and world， fans of Priory will walk away dazed， amazed， and further in Shannon’s thrall。 While some parts felt needlessly lengthy and indulgent， that’s expected in high fantasy （IMO）， the overall roaring celebration of motherhood and women’s choices regarding children in all its forms is a stand out。

Over the summer， my friend and I started a bookclub to tackle our individual to-be-read piles。 One of their picks was “The Priory of the Orange Tree，” an 800-page fantasy that had been trending on BookTok for several months。 As a rare reader of fantasy and 800-page books alike， I was apprehensive about their choice; however， after making them read Joan Didion’s “Slouching Towards Bethlehem” （which left both of us disappointed and bored）， I owed them。 We began “Priory of the Orange Tree” in May， Over the summer， my friend and I started a bookclub to tackle our individual to-be-read piles。 One of their picks was “The Priory of the Orange Tree，” an 800-page fantasy that had been trending on BookTok for several months。 As a rare reader of fantasy and 800-page books alike， I was apprehensive about their choice; however， after making them read Joan Didion’s “Slouching Towards Bethlehem” （which left both of us disappointed and bored）， I owed them。 We began “Priory of the Orange Tree” in May， and finished it two， long months later。 “The Priory of the Orange Tree” is not a book that can be easily summarized， given that it could be smoothly separated into a trilogy。 An evil fire-breathing “wyrm” （different from the peaceful water dragons） known as “The Nameless One” is gaining strength， leaving everyone increasingly terrified of its return after having been defeated 1，000 years ago。 Unfortunately， the world is divided based on their religious and wyrm/dragon beliefs， making it impossible for the regions to unite: in the East， people have close relationships with dragons， viewing them as Gods; in the West， also known as The Queendom of Inys， wyrms and dragons alike are feared and Queen Sabran IX rules as the direct descendant of the original slayer of The Nameless One， Sir Galian; and in the South resides the “secret mage society of The Priory，” which believes the original slayer was not Sir Galian， but rather his wife， Princess Cleolind， and if I am remembering correctly， understand the difference between evil fire wyrms and good water dragons。 In addition to those conflicting politics， there’s a draconic plague， forbidden romances， a well-executed lesbian relationship and magical fruit。 To say there’s a lot going on is an understatement。 Shannon is nothing short of ambitious， which she proves again with her new release “A Day of Fallen Night，” the prequel to “The Priory of the Orange Tree。” The world is again divided into the aforementioned regions （as well as the North）， which Shannon alternates between in each chapter。 Though “A Day of Fallen Night” is another long-strung tale of dragons and magic， Shannon roots the story in three specific characters， all of whom are young women coming of age in their respective part of the world: Dumai in the East， Glorian in the West and Siyu in the South。 Though their paths are diverse — Dumai spends her days serving the great Kwiriki， Glorian prepares to take over the throne and Siyu awaits her ascension into the Priory — the characters mirror each other in their ambitious and rebellious desires as they navigate their duties to their families， their regions and their realm。 Daily Arts Writer Lillian Pearce can be reached at pearcel@umich。edu。 Read the full review here: https://www。michigandaily。com/arts/bo。。。 。。。more
