THE PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE: Samantha Shannon

THE PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE

by Samantha Shannon

Feminist fantasy done right. If you feel your reading is lacking in interesting, queer and powerful female characters, I can't recommend this enough. Priory is too complex for one summary alone, but guaranteed to be present is magic, politics and many, many dragons. Shannon's world is vivid and realistic and I wished immediately for a sequel even with its mammoth size. George R.R. Martin could never.
