![]() They are what made A Day of Fallen Night genuinely excellent not one POV was less compelling. These three women are the heart of the book. Glorian Berethnet, the sole heir to her throne and the fifteen-year-old figurehead of her religion Tunuva Melim, who has dedicated fifty years of her life to the Priory and to her goddess and Dumai of Ipyeda, whose journey and relationship with the slumbering gods of the East will go on to define history. Her characters all embody faith in different ways. If anything, Shannon uses this story to develop those themes even further, exploring the ways that religion influences the lives of every character in her world. Set 500 years before Priory takes place, it tells a fantastic story in its own right.Ī Day of Fallen Night continues Priory’s themes of religion and the role of religion in defining history. Like Priory, ADOFN is a slow-building political novel set against the backdrop of a fantasy dragon war. This sweeping, breathtaking prequel to the Priory of the Orange Tree completely blew me away. ![]()
