A Day of Fallen Night

If you loved Priory of the Orange Tree you're going to devour this book. The story is set about 500 year before Priory and follows characters from different kingdoms whos fates are intervened as they are all affected by the eruption of the Dreadmount and the awakening of the Great Western and their wyverns and beasts. Shannon has a vivid and complex writing style which I already loved in the first book of this series. It's a story about finding your true self and love in all the shapes it can take. The characters have to go on a journey to selfdiscovery, selflove and acceptance and the author adresses a great number of important topics from grief and motherhood to sexuality and social expectations/norms and covers them beautifully. If you haven't read Priory yet you could start reading this series with A day of fallen night or Priory of the Orange Tree. Or you could start with her novella Among the burning flowers as the story interlocks with the beginning of Priory. I actually loved this book even more that Priory and and I’d already considered that one phenomenal.
