Why read it?

2 authors picked A Day of Fallen Night as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I want so much more of this fantasy world! This was a follow-up read to The Priory of the Orange Tree. Technically it's set before the events of that book, but I loved being able to dive in, already knowing so much about the world and getting to expand on that. It's got everything you want from a fantasy -- immersive worldbuilding, badass heroines, DRAGONS! I mean, what's not to love here?

I absolutely adored The Priory of the Orange Tree, and so when this book came out, I dived right into it as soon as the stunning paperback arrived in my mailbox.

As with Priory, it’s a sweeping tale with multiple point-of-view characters who are all dynamic and interesting. Fallen Night is set generations before Priory so you don’t need to read one to enjoy the other, but reading both gives you fantastic journey into an incredibly rich fantasy world.

I had my favourites amongst the different POV characters I found Dumai’s story the most compelling of all…
