Does it maintain its momentum? Is it balanced? please don’t hate me for this review. as someone who loved priory of the orange tree, it pains me to rate a day of fallen night so low. Pre-review: Could this be the best book I've ever read in my lifetime? Right now, I'm thinking A Day of Fallen Night definitely feels like the best book ever. I need some time to sit with my thoughts and feelings, so review to come later (hopefully). The engrossing new story promises to deliver more character-driven, emotionally complex adventure and intrigue. All of the characters are incredible, complex and alluring, and their plotlines are all captivating as they intertwine and parallel and subvert. Unlike Priory, you will be completely immersed in every single character's perspective as your love and adoration for each character only ever grows.

I stayed up reading this book until I was actually drifting off! Having to put this book down was so hard, especially as it’s better in large chunks, so you can get fully into it! Oh, and I love you, and you must never leave the city, and your father and I are going on a ship because we don't have Disney in our world and never watched Frozen. So you can guess how that ended!
