Rezension von Christina I want to give a hundred stars. I am again at a loss for words to describe my love for Shannons storytelling, world- and characterbuilding. As good as 'Priory' or even better, which didn't think was possible, please someone delete my memories, so can read these two again for the first time!
Rezension von Eileen Dierner Gosh! I really thought I would love this books since I am a fan of Priory of the Orange Tree, but it was quite disappointing actually.<br/>Without giving anything away, first things first: The ending felt very rushes and unspectacular. As was the case in Priory, but in Priory, it was my only point of criticism. Here, in A Day of Fallen Night, it was one of many.<br/>I will not get into details, just say that the story was the big weak part. Because the characters were well-done: authentic, sympathetic, interesting. But since we know, due to Priory, that 500 years later, the Berethnets are fine, the world is fine, everything is fine, there are no real stakes. No, instead of high stakes and active characters, the author chooses an external event, on which none of the characters had any influence, as the solution to the main problem, which was so disappointing.<br/>There were also no plottwists. I see now that some reveals were intended to be such, but partly due to Priory, partly due to logic, I saw every single reveal coming. I constantly expected a major twist and felt lost when everything worked out as I had thought.<br/>The last thing I have to fret about: the world. Don't get me wrong, I love the world of Roots of Chaos. But I thought that in A Day of Fallen Night, we would discover something new about it. Instead the story explained the same things from Priory again, and left me only with weak, meaningless theories about the world's backstory.<br/>I really, really hope that this is just a phase and the third book in the series (of which I have heard rumours about) will be better. There are only two things I wish for: More lore on the world, which was only teased until now, and - finally a well-paced ending!<br/><br/>I know this sounds quite critical, but I still enyojed reading it. Samantha Shannon's voice fits the high fantasy genre and I just really adore her characters and dialogues.
Rezension von Jassi4.5 stars ~ A lot of pages and around halfway i struggled to pick it up again, but as soon as the story started to get more exciting again reading it went so quick and i enjoyed every moment! The world feels so real and the main characters are so likable :) excited for the next book in this series!!
Rezension von MelanieI might've loved this even more than priory of the orange tree. I felt as if the overarching theme of maternal love and family really connected all stories in a way i really enjoyed.
