Their daughter, Glorian, trails in their shadow β exactly where she wants to be. The dragons of the East have slept for centuries.

That is all that goes through my head on Priory chapters. π
I'm just getting started but this book has me remembering, and loving all over again, The Priory of the Orange Tree. I really enjoy the style of writing. It's mega, heavy, fantastical fantasy but without the intimidating language you find in a lot of similar books. And I know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but holy feathers it's absolutely beautiful.
