____________________

Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. For fifty years, she has trained to slay wyrms – but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger generation is starting to question the Priory's purpose.

To the north, in the Queendom of Inys, Sabran the Ambitious has married the new King of Hróth, narrowly saving both realms from ruin. Their daughter, Glorian, trails in their shadow – exactly where she wants to be.

The dragons of the East have slept for centuries. Dumai has spent her life in a Seiikinese mountain temple, trying to wake the gods from their long slumber. Now someone from her mother's past is coming to upend her fate.

When the Dreadmount erupts, bringing with it an age of terror and violence, these women must find the strength to protect humankind from a devastating threat.

Intricate and epic, A Day of Fallen Night sweeps readers back to the world of A Priory of the Orange Tree, showing us a course of events that shaped it for generations to come.

Reseñas de la Crítica

A magnificent, sweeping epic. Shannon has created a world rich in intricate mythology, beautifully realised and complex, and placed at its heart bold and vivid characters. Their journeys sweep the reader along, compelled by a thrilling plot of peril and warfare, but utterly captivated by the heartfelt relationships, the simmering romances, the betrayals, the loss and the love. Highly recommended for hiding away from the real world and losing yourself in this one instead (Jennifer Saint, author of the Sunday Times-bestselling Ariadne)

Like all the greats, Samantha Shannon has built a world … Miraculously pacy, given its thumping scale, this is another gorgeous, glittering epic

This magnificent Sapphic fantasy novel is going to sweep you off your feet

The engrossing new story promises to deliver more character-driven, emotionally complex adventure and intrigue

Samantha Shannon once again wows us as we dive back into her complex and beautiful world. This is one for the fantasy lovers and it won’t disappoint

When I heard that Samantha Shannon’s The Priory of the Orange Tree was getting a brand new prequel, I immediately bumped it higher up on my TBR list

In this stunning epic fantasy, lush with detail and nuance, Shannon weaves a tale of three powerful women that intersect in the most thrilling ways. Huge in scope, rich with emotion, and gorgeously queer, A Day of Fallen Night is the Roots of Chaos book fans have been waiting for. Shannon is simply a master of the genre (C. S. Pacat, New York Times-bestselling author of Dark Rise)

Intricate and epic

An intricate epic, a lavishly glittering fantasy tapestry vividly depicting generations of compelling relationships and characters that feel legendary and human. A Day of Fallen Night both stands along and magnificent, and is a worthy successor (SARAH REES BRENNAN, New York Times-bestselling author of The Demon's Lexicon trilogy)

Like a dragon in flight, Samantha Shannon takes you soaring through a tale full of fire and spirit. It is in that freefall that I fell utterly in love with these new characters. The novel draws strength from the power of a woman's choice, giving the characters a depth of fortitude that is masterful in its craft and execution. Shannon lays bare the intricacies of the world she's created with sublime skill, enrapturing the reader with political intrigue and momentous action, cleaved through with heart and passion. Simply put, Samantha Shannon hasn't just done it again, she's surpassed all that has come before and cemented herself as a legend of the genre (Saara El-Arifi, Sunday Times-bestselling author of The Final Strife)

A Day of Fallen Night is a mythic and timeless meditation on grief, faith and the bonds of love and fealty that define us. An exquisite epic fantasy (Tasha Suri, World Fantasy Award-winning author of The Jasmine Throne)

the male narrator is impossible to understand

it completely ruins the immersion for a book I was looking forward to. disappointed choice

Even better than Priory

I sincerely hope Shannon makes good and expands this series. Fantastic in every way. Highly recommended.

Absolutely stunning story and performance

I loved this so much, it is just such a wonderfully solid and beautiful story. The narrators really added an extra dimension of epic.

I think it could have been a good book

I got maybe an hour in but just couldn't do it ... one of the narrators kept putting me to sleep, her voice is perfect for sleeptime aps but I had no idea how the story of her characters were progressing because for the life of me I couldn't keep interested in her voice

It was soothing to the point of boring/sleep ... sorry I'm sure she's a lovely human :(

Had to return this book but I am reading Book 1 of this series and think it's great!

Nice

An easy engaging listen, though it took a while for the story to pull me in.
