A Day of Fallen Night

Samantha Shannon has truly mastered the art of crafting expansive fantasy worlds where no part of this 800-page tome feels like filler. This can be read as a standalone or as a prequel to Priory, and as someone new to Shannon's work I didn't feel left behind by this instalment. For fans of court politics, adventures across continents, and gods in the form of dragons. - Daniella, Harry Hartog Woden
