'A tour de force, and my new absolute favourite epic fantasy'
- Laini Taylor, author of Strange the Dreamer

'I have been waiting my whole life for this fantasy. It's the kind of book you never want to end. Utterly unique, wild, and rich. Sheer perfection'
- Lisa Lueddecke, author of A Storm of Ice and Stars

'The new Game of Thrones. Escapism at its finest - Shannon, we salute you'
- Stylist

'Allow me to introduce your newest fantasy obsession ... Remarkably fresh and frankly fearless ... Works so well as an intricately realised and feminist fantasy that one might even be tempted to dub Samantha Shannon 'The female George R.R. Martin' ... As with the best of fantasy, The Priory of the Orange Tree feels less like a book than it does an experience, a true sojourn into a rich and terrible new world'
- Hypable

'A magnificent epic ... Crammed with subversion and feminism, and written with tough, poetic assurance'
- Metro

'The Priory of the Orange Tree is a brilliant, daring, and devastating jewel. Samantha Shannon has crafted an incredible world full of depth and danger, with characters I would follow to the ends of the earth. It was a privilege to read, and I'm in awe of her talent. I can't wait for the rest of the world to experience this book'
- Victoria Aveyard, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Red Queen series

'Sensual ... Majestic ... Blending politics with high adventure and the epic with the intimate, the narrative builds like a tidal wave before sweeping towards an awesome, climactic finale'
- Daily Mail

'An entirely fresh and addicting tale ... A celebration of fantasy that melds modern ideology with classic tropes. More of these dragons, please'
- Kirkus Reviews

'A masterpiece of intricate world-building with the depth, complexity, heart and soul of a timelessly relevant classic. Brilliant, diverse, feminist, subversive, thought-provoking and masterfully told, The Priory of the Orange Tree is epic fantasy at its finest. The scope of the book is staggering, as is Shannon's deft command of language ... An absolute must-read'
- Karen Marie Moning, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Highlander and Fever series

'Nothing short of extraordinary. An audacious, ambitious, sprawling epic, set across a world like no other, The Priory of the Orange Tree takes everything you think you know about high fantasy, rips it apart and remakes it ... Nothing short of game-changing ... An absolute masterclass in story telling, from one of the most exciting and innovative fantasy writers alive today. With it, Samantha Shannon has set the bar stratospherically high. This is the book of 2019'
- Melinda Salisbury, author of The Sin-Eater's Daughter

The Priory of the Orange Tree feels like a feminist successor to The Lord of the Rings - something I don't say lightly. Epic and awe-inspiring in its scope, its rich, diverse world captivated me. I loved each complex narrator, all wonderfully human heroes and anti-heroes, and adored sinking into the world Samantha Shannon has created with such heart and beauty. This deserves to be as big as Game of Thrones ... An expertly woven saga that feels very relevant for the contemporary world we live in * Laure Eve, author of The Graces *
An epic fantasy destined to be a classic. A world crafted with such intricacy and detail, I had to remind myself it was not a real place. The Priory of the Orange Tree is one of those rare novels that captures your imagination so completely you will read it over and over, until the cover cracks and the spine breaks * Kami Garcia, #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of Beautiful Creatures and author of Unbreakable *
